Healthy Desserts Recipes - Hot Almond Cereal Recipe

• 1 1/4 cups wheat bran

• 1 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder

Serves 9

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

2. Grind your flaxseeds in a food processor with the S blade in place. Flaxseeds take a while to grind up, so you may have to run the processor for several minutes. (You can buy flaxseed meal if you prefer, but flaxseed oil spoils pretty quickly after the seeds are ground, so I much prefer to grind my own.)

3. While the food processor is running, lightly toast your ground almonds by putting them in a shallow baking pan in the oven for 5 minutes or so.

4. When the flaxseeds are ground and the almonds are toasted, combine them with the oat bran, wheat bran, and protein powder, and store in an airtight container.

5. To make a bowl of cereal, put 1/2 cup of the mixture in a bowl and add 3/4 cup of boiling water and a pinch of salt. Stir, and let your cereal sit for a few minutes before eating.
