Homemade Grape Nuts

Homemade cereal, what a revelation! This recipe for homemade grape nuts thrilled me. I’ve made homemade granola before, but never grape nuts. So I was excited to give this a try.

You will need the following things: Sprouted Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (I used regular whole wheat flour and it worked well!), Light Brown Sugar, Baking Soda, Salt, Molasses, Buttermilk, and Butter.

First you’ll combine your dry ingredients, then your wet ingredients.

Mmm, molasses.

Mmm, buttermilk.

Give it a nice stir.

It will start to come together until it is uniform in color and texture, but not especially wet.

Press it into a baking dish and put it in the oven to bake.

Once it comes out of the oven, let it cool completely in your baking dish.

Once it’s cool, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F and crumble the mixture with your hands as fine or course as you would like your grape nuts to be. You will need several trays for this. Or you could cut this recipe in half to begin with if you don’t want quite so much on hand!

Place the sheet trays in the oven so that the course mixture dries out slowly.

Let it cool out of the oven once it is firm, and once cool, store it in air tight containers.

This was so much better than grape nuts from the store. It had a better texture and the flavor was fabulous.
