INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup natural bran
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Molasses
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral tasting oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 300F (148C). Line 2 10"x15" baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine whole wheat flour, bran, flax seeds, baking soda and salt.
In a large measuring cup combine water, molasses and vegetable oil. Whisk together to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour 3/4 of the water mixture in. Stir to make a soft pliable dough, adding more of the liquid as necessary. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
Divide dough in half. Remove parchment paper from baking sheets and roll each piece of dough onto them. Sprinkle with a little flour if the dough is too sticky. Roll as thin as you can; each piece of dough should cover the entire span of the paper.
Carefully slide each sheet of dough onto the baking pans. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, leaving the oven on. Allow to cool for a few minutes before peeling each dough sheet off the paper. Tear each one into little pieces, creating bran flakes. Return the torn flakes onto the parchment lined baking sheets and set back into the oven. Bake an additional 5 minutes, then turn oven off and allow to carry over bake until the oven cools completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir quickly once or twice in between. Taste to ensure that the flakes are completely crisp.
Transfer bran flakes to an airtight container. Enjoy with milk, yogurt, fresh fruit or as a snack on its own.

Thanks for this tutorial! I made this but substituted wheat and bran for oat flour and corn flour because I'm gluten intolerant. They came out great, I'm glad I can eat cereals again, I can't find gluten free cereals in my country but it's ok because homemade is always healthier.

@@ICookAndPaint do you use fine bran or. Corse? How close to the real thing do you find it tastes?

[@samuelgodswill788]

Thank you

[@ICookAndPaint]

My pleasure :)

[@markocahoon]

Good morning. I’m curious why you add baking soda? What is it’s purpose here? Thank you 😊

[@ICookAndPaint]

It adds a little lightness to the flakes :)

[@chichi6796]

Thx gonna have to try that.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Enjoy! 😀

Can I substitute chia meal for ground flaxseeds and the whole wheat flour for spelt flour?
and maybe add protein powder?
Thanks!

[@ICookAndPaint]

Hi! You should be able to. The texture might differ a little bit, but it will still be good!

[@CPR4THEBODYlivingaenrichedlife]

Omg I wanted to ask the same thing about spelt flour

[@jvbailey1709]

Hi How long can these be stored for please.

[@marimohd2641]

How many days the flakes will last

[@ICookAndPaint]

In an airtight container they should be good for about 3 months :)

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

Satisfying but I think I'll stick with my Total👍

[@RajibDas-mo7lm]

What is the bran or fiber used here ?

[@ICookAndPaint]

Natural bran.

[@marimohd2641]

Can we use can flour like multigarin

[@ICookAndPaint]

I tried whole wheat flour with ground oats once and I didn’t like the texture. I couldn’t get the proper crunch. If you try please let me know how it turned out :)

[@varnellhopkinsiii6863]

This is very similar to how hardtack is made.

[@ICookAndPaint]

Yes it is but I promise this is much nicer to eat :)

[@sammansfield21]

Tip....instead of using baking paper and having to hold whilst rolling (and saving the environment of course), use a silicone baking sheet

[@ICookAndPaint]

Sounds perfect! :)

[@gogoasainfuriata762]

I think you should be fair and give credit to the creator of this recipe, a loooong time ago. About three years ago Biger Bolder Baking yt channel came up first with this recipe...... soooooo, at least be honest

[@loriki8766]

These recipes have been around for years - much longer than 3 years - and shared so much online that it would be tough to find the original creator.
