It’s week 5 of my series scratch vs store where I make popular store-bought snacks at home and see if it’s actually worth it. This week we’re going all out and making home made Cinnamon Toast Crunch and…I might never buy it from the store again because these are 100% worth it. These are quick and easy- all you need is: Cereal: -all purpose flour (2.5 cups) -salted butter (1 cup- cut into cubes) -cinnamon (1/2 tsp) -water (1/2 cup cold water) -vanilla extract (2 tsp) Topping: -melted butter (2 tablespoons) -cinnamon (1 Tbs) -sugar (1/2 cup) 1. Preheat oven to 350 F 2. Add flour, butter and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse until pea sized crumbs start to form. 3. Add water and vanilla and pulse until a ball forms. 4. Turn your dough out onto a floured surface, and cut it into fourths. 5. Work with your first piece and roll it flat, as thin as you can, then transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper. 6. Make your topping by mixing your cinnamon and sugar together and set aside 7. Melt butter and brush it onto your flattened dough, then sprinkle on your cinnamon sugar. 8. Cut the dough into 1/2 inch squares and transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet. Separate your squares out and bake at 350 for 12 minutes 9. Repeat with the rest of your dough pieces! 10. Let it cool completely and store in an airtight container for a week. I’d rate this a 10/ 10 -Ingredients: 10/10 the ingredients are incredibly simple and you should have everything you need in your pantry! -Ease of recipe: 10/10 this was probably one of the easiest recipes to make where I felt like there was room for error and the dough was just a dream to work with. -Taste: 10/10 the kids asked for seconds which usually doesn’t happen, and I’m pretty sure I ate like 20 of these while filming Overall- These are 100% a make, especially because one recipe should give you a good amount of cereal- I’d probably say you could make a box’s worth of cereal at home with this- more so if you cut the squares smaller lol. #ideasforkids #homemade #cereal #madefromscratch #homemadecereal #foodforkids #kidfood #cookingvideo
