How to Make Five Grain Cereal With Apricots Apples And Bananas

  1. Grind 1/4 cup flaxseed using a spice or coffee grinder until coarsely ground.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/2 cup chopped dried apples, 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
  5. Add the dry cereal mixture to the boiling water.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove the lid and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cereal reaches your desired thickness, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
