How to make our cereals at home

Bake your own cheerios breakfast cereal

Making CHEERIOS® is actually so simple, you can do it from home with ingredients from your local supermarket.

Ingredients
	For CHEERIOS® rings
5 tbsp	Wholegrain oat flour* (dry ingredient)
2 tbsp	Wheat flour (dry ingredient)
0.5 tsp	Baking powder (dry ingredient)
4.5 tbsp	Water (wet ingredient)
1 tsp	Oil (wet ingredient)
0.5 tsp	Sugar (wet ingredient)
2	Pinches of salt (wet ingredient)
	Slurry for coating
1.5 tbsp	Sugar
1 tbsp	Boiling water
1 tsp	Honey
	* If wholegrain oat flour is not available, make your own by milling rolled oats in a coffee grinder until it turns into flour

CHEERIOS® Rings

Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.
Sieve all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Combine wet ingredients together in a small cup, stir until sugar and salt completely dissolved.
Add wet mix to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until no more lumps. Do not over mix. Rest the batter for 5 mins. Batter consistency after resting should be similar to peanut butter.
Put the batter into a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle, 3mm in diameter. Optionally, use a disposable piping bag and make a very small cut at the tip.
Pipe rings the same size as CHEERIOS® onto a baking tray lined with non-stick paper.
Bake at 170°C for 8-10 minutes.
Allow to cool after baking.

Slurry

Mix sugar, honey and boiling water together until sugar is completely dissolved. Use immediately, or reheat in microwave for few seconds if cooled down.
For every 50g of baked rings, drizzle ¾ teaspoon of the hot slurry. Mix quickly until the rings are uniformly coated.
Spread the coated rings on a baking tray lined with a non-stick paper.
Bake at 120°C for 8-10 minutes until crispy.
