HOMEMADE WHEAT FLAKES CEREAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
• Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the honey and vanilla with the water in a liquid measuring cup, then slowly pour the liquid in a stream into the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes a pourable batter (like a thin pancake batter); add more or less water as necessary. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly all the way to the edges, smoothing the top so that it is quite thin (you can also use a rolling pin and roll the batter out between two sheets of parchment paper). It should be no more than 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake until the top is dry and begins to crack, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool until it is cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• Break the baked layer into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Spread the broken pieces evenly on the same baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through and redistributing on the baking sheet, until the flakes are dried and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely. The cereal can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

MOVEMBER WHEATIES MARSHMALLOW BARS

Steps:

• Line 9 x 9-inch pan with foil so foil extends about 2 inches over the sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In large microwavable bowl, microwave butter and marshmallows uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until mixture is smooth. Remove from microwave.
• Immediately stir in cereal until evenly coated. Pour cereal mixture into pan. With buttered back of a spoon, press mixture in pan until even. Cool at least 10 minutes.
• Using foil to lift, remove brownies from pan. With mustache shaped cookie cutter, cut cereal mixture into 24 bars. Store in loosely covered container.

WHEATIES COOKIES

• Drop onto lightly buttered (that's what Grandma did!) cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350°F for approximately 8 minutes or until very light brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE.
