Recipe: Gluten Free Cereal - Baked Flax Squares

Recipe for cereal? That is right! I was a little shocked when I ran across it as well, but figured I would share in case someone is interested in making their own gluten free cereal.

Gluten Free Cereal Recipe: Baked Flax Squares

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (I use 1 part each of garfava, tapioca and cornstarch)
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal
• 2 tablespoons cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
• 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon molasses
• 1/4 cup water

Baking Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients and make a well in the center of the bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients in the well, then stir everything together, using your hands to form a ball.
4. Place ball of dough on a greased cookie sheet and roll out as thin as possible (I don’t recommend air-bake cookie sheets). Optional: At this point you can score the dough with a pizza cutter or knife so that it will easily break apart into uniform shapes when done.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are browned and cereal feels slightly crisp and dry. If not dry, turn oven off and leave in longer.
6. Remove from oven and break into small pieces. Store in an airtight container.
