Flax Cereal (No Pork Rinds Involved!)

Re: Flax Cereal (No Pork Rinds Involved!)

Hi there - I tried this today and messed something up... After the cookie came out of the microwave, it was done - and crumbled easily. (tasted like something to put on top of a cake!) So, I put it in a bowl, added the mixed cream and water and immediately had ...... MUSH. Malt o'meal or something like it.

I was hoping for cereal (a little bit of a chew or crunch) so maybe I've done something wrong or I misunderstood. Could you help?

Thanks!

Kacey, I got the same thing the first time I made it. With some adjustments and a lot of practice I've been able to get it right! You might want to try this:

Substitute liquid splenda for some of the granular -- not all of it, though, or it gets too chewy

If that doesn't work, spread it a little thicker when you microwave it. (I've also determined that this makes it less likely that I'll break the plate. Yes, I've broken three supposedly microwave-safe plates with this recipe -- I guess it concentrates the microwave's heat and I have a really powerful microwave.)

If that doesn't work, microwave it for a shorter period of time. I do about 1 and a half minutes.

Hope that helps!

Re: Flax Cereal (No Pork Rinds Involved!)

can I make this without the whey protein?

Re: Flax Cereal (No Pork Rinds Involved!)

do it on parchment paper you can buy in the grocery store. just cut out a small square and have at it.

the whey PP is the glue if you are in OWL you gane grind up some almonds and make nut flour instead but it will be courser in texture and lack the glued togetherness of the whey PP.

Re: Flax Cereal (No Pork Rinds Involved!)

This is my variation on a flax cookie recipe I enjoyed.

2 heaping tablespoons flax
2 tablespoons Vanilla whey protein powder
1.5 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon Splenda

Mix the dry ingredients, bind with melted butter. Add pinches of flax if the recipe looks too wet. Spread out about a quarter to a half inch thick on a piece of wax paper/saran wrap and microwave for about 2 minutes or until butter no longer visibly bubbles. It will not be crunchy but instead crumbly. Carefully spoon/scrape into a bowl and serve with heavy cream (cut cream with water if you prefer). This is INCREDIBLY filling, so while it looks like a little it really blows up in your stomach. It really tastes like cereal without any of the pork rinds business involved.

Thanks! I may give this a shot for the weekend. I'll let you know.

Didn't you have a great looking brownie recipe somewhere?...Hum...?

I made this without the whey last night when I got home from work. I accidently kinda overcooked it in the microwave, but it was actually really good.
I just used flax, cinnamon, vanilla extract, splenda and butter. It was more crunchy/crispy than crumbly, cause I overcooked it, but with cream it was still really good. I made it again this morning and it was crumbly and great!

I actually like the taste of flax meal so not having vanilla whey didnt make any difference

This sounds good. Is it induction friendly?

I've made this twice in the past 3 days and really liked it. I can't seem to get the mixture to crisp up enough, though. Maybe I need more butter? It's not very wet at all when I put it on the plate. I'll keep playing with it. Either way, it tastes great!
