Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole flaxseeds
- 1 cup Coarse cracked wheat
- 1 cup Coarse cracked rye
- 0.5 cup Steel-cut oats
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole flaxseeds, cracked wheat, cracked rye, and steel-cut oats.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the grains and seeds are evenly distributed.
Store the mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To prepare a single serving of hot cereal: combine 1/4 cup of the cereal mix with 3/4 cup of water (or milk) in a small pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve hot with your preferred toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, honey, or a splash of milk.
