Homemade Golden Grahams & Cinnamon Toast Crunch

[@mrbarrylewis]

Howdy! I personally preferred the Grahams, but i've typed up both the recipes here with some hints and tips since making the video if you'd like to give them a try :) barrylewis.net/recipe/homemade-golden-grahams-cinnamon-toast-crunch/

Home made Lucky Charms. Make the cereal part and also the little marshmallows. Or how about Applejacks.

This was an amazing idea! I can't wait to try this!!!

Barry, you and Stuart should do "Wll it Sushi?" with some of your sushi gadgets. You can use Spam as a filling and different sweet fillings.

[@jeanproctor3663]

i'm all for making your own on these because it's taking money out of Nasty Nestlés coffers! And these do look lovely. I love things with cinnamon in so I'll have a go at these when I get a chance. I tried the home made baked beans recipe but it didn't go very well. I think maybe the beans I used were too big - they didn't look it, but after soaking them for nearly 48 hours (they genuinely started to sprout!), cooking them in the pan for what felt like for ever and putting them into a casserole dish - *twice* - for almost a full day each on the lowest setting I could, only a few of them had softened enough to make them edible. I added some maple syrup too, which added a bit extra to the sauce. It's a shame mine didn't work because the sauce I made tasted beautiful.

[@GreyDevil]

Curious what the final cost per serving this works out to compared to buying the real versions of the cereals

[@tamijoiskewl]

Me too plz

[@harshbarj]

@aarron grigg Because if it's 20p for store bought but 50p for home made, financially it does not make sense doing it yourself over buying.

[@markchapman6800]

Probably should factor in the time to make them too.

[@kevinmaher4609]

It's probably cheaper per serving since American Cereal can sell for exorbitant prices in the UK. A $3 box of lucky charms might be $20 in a UK import shop.

[@cujoedaman]

@@kevinmaher4609 And here in the US, you can get a box of one of those "clean" cereals (I forget the name off the top of my head) for $20. KZbinrs had them for sponsors for a short while, not sure what happened to them... or maybe people weren't that dumb to pay that much for cereal.

[@Taolan8472]

You know what you've done, Barry? You've given me such a craving for golden grahams, I went out to my local grocer that I happen to know carries them and bought a box. 10/10 do not regret. And this weekend I will give your recipe a try and see what happens!

[@alishahird897]

In america, I had a large selection of cereal to choose from as a kid. Cinnamon toast crunch and golden grams were great choices. I went for honeycombs, Life, Rice crispy treat cereal and for a extra big treat Cookiecrisps.

[@lisam2537]

Once again a video which I am absolutely going to try. Everything I have made from your videos has been outstanding!! I’m sure this too will be a winner!!! Thanks!!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks Lisa, I think it helps I do the recipe write-up after the video so I can add some tips in if I made it again. The grahams just shaded it for me on this one for authenticity. Fun either way

[@TastesLikeChicken3]

Thank you for this video! They are something I always look forward to. Just a note, they changed the name from Cinnamon Grahams to Curiously Cinnamon:) they are my favourite too!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks a bunch i'll add that to the tags

[@victoriahayden2961]

Deffo going to give these a go. I love Cinnamon Crunch Toast! 😋

[@robbiemer8178]

Both recipes looked great! For an occasional treat, hand rolling the dough seems fine, but if you "need" to have cereal for a houseful most mornings, I'd think using a pasta machine might be a good idea. And I would see if , once you've got your sheet of dough, just putting that on your baking sheet and then cutting the squares but not separating them until after they have been baked. Another excellent video, thank you for sharing this with us all!

[@DucNguyen-bd5ir]

Barry if you plan to do lots of these they have these accordion style pasta cutters. I don't think you have ever tested one of these. Could you do a rough cost per serving? Even if it's in BP or USD would be nice considering the cost of cereals today.

[@battlesbattle998]

I think I would use a pasta roller to get them thinner, and definitely add graham flour for Golden Grahams.

[@Rose-ou2xj]

Oooh I’m trying this! These are two of my favourite cereals!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Awesome!

[@SuperDolly64]

Cinnamon toast crunch is still a guilty pleasure for me-these look amazeballs xx

[@mixxling]

Loved this video! I really enjoy cinnamon, so I'm definitely gonna have to try this out.

[@darlouthia5153]

I wonder if you simply cut them before baking but not separate them and then break them up afterwards would it make a difference? Less prep time I’m thinking. Really interesting!!

[@jorieke4113]

I made these today, and the cinnamon toast ones completely fell apart after cooling. 1 big jar of crumbles. The golden grahams are awesome!

[@lilmeowmeow6784]

This is awesome! I was really looking forward to this video. It looks so much easier than I anticipated. I would love to see you throw in some gluten free recipes sometime. I'd love to make some of the things you make, but I'm gluten intolerant 😢

[@Simowl]

As a coeliac I think watching this was a form of torture..

[@respectrealperson290]

One of my family members is being tested for that. And really loves breads, cakes, cookies, you name it. Being gluten intolerant though is a real health issue, and does very real damage. So gluten free recipes would be really great! I could then make something for that family member at the holidays!

[@gjwilson]

If you’ve got a Farmfoods near you, you’ll find Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Churros and also French Toast Crunch for sale for £3.99/each. My favourite is the Churros as they’re just like the churros you get at the international markets, or seaside stalls.

[@shawnsisler3743]

Barry, to make it even easier to blend your butter into the flour, freeze the butter and grate it into your flour. It's changed my life.

[@MysticJhn]

Personally I think you might have had an easier time if you had just scored the full dough with your knife, but baked it first before breaking it up, in a similar fashion that you would for crackers. The cereal sheet post baking would snap apart much easier than you struggling to cut the individual squares and place them on the baking tray one at a time. Also, if you do try this again, might I suggest a pizza cutter instead of using a knife? Could make your life a little easier.

[@karihayes5448]

Came here to say just that lol

I love Golden Grahams, but can only find Curiously Cinnamon lately. Golden Grahams actually has no cinnamon at all in the ingredients - might make it without and see if it’s close.

[@Mezza87x]

Apparently Golden Grahams were discontinued again last year

[@journeytothinify]

Love this!!! Homemade Raisin Bran!

[@FaeAstray]

That's exactly the opposite of our cereal boxes here in the USA, the boxes keep getting bigger and bigger! I can only find "family size" at my local stores, and there are only two of us in my family so cereal always goes stale. I usually just buy the variety packs, but I have to order them online now!

I hate cinnamon, but love watching Barry so much, I still watched this. 😂

[@Bashfuldoc]

Good looking cereal! Barry, can you make your version of Branston Pickle? That would make my decade!

[@irahersey9184]

I think one slight way to improve it, would be to roll out the dough with a pasta roller. Then it will be more even and consistent, as well as giving you more control over the thickness of your cereal dough

[@MsAussie83]

@Barry Lewis I'd like to try this one day! I love both those kinds of cereal, and my goal is to swap yucky preservatives for quality ingredients! However, I wonder, how would I make these as crunchy as the store bought versions?

[@xkupi]

This looks amazing.

[@rheeneedy16]

Please do a collab with SortedFood 😁 It'll be interesting to see you with a more "structured" food team and see another normal home cook with their team 😁

[@tb0ne2u]

I love Golden Grahams!

[@markchapman6800]

Barry, one problem with doing these directly onto a silicone mat is that it's *really* easy to accidentally cut through the latter with a sharp knife while cutting up the food. I sliced two gashes into one of my BL mats cutting up pizza that I'd made on it.

[@Gaz69erwilson]

Idk if they ever had/have it in the UK, but one I loved while growing up was Cookie Crisp. Basically tiny chocolate chip cookies that were made in a cereal format. Maybe you could give those a try?

[@whatdidujustcallme]

We do have cookie crisp here in the UK. It was introduced in the early 2000’s, if I can remember rightly.

[@PiousMoltar]

Golden Grahams weren't cinnamon in the slightest... those were Cinnamon Grahams. I loved both as a kid.

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

They’re called Curiously Cinnamon now

[@shiliela_rhymes_with_delilah]

Would cutting them up and then shaking them in a bag with the cinnamon sugar work better?

[@mrbarrylewis]

Not a bad idea, but, the dough is quite delicate and would break the cut squares. However if the dough was chilled / cold and firmer it would prob work.

[@Janokins]

These cereals really are dessert for breakfast

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yeah there seems to be two types of extreme now, super healthy stuff or some pretty crazy stuff... I saw reeses chocolate peanut butter cup cereal in a uk supermarket, I really don't want to try it, but I also really want to try it if you catch my drift lol

[@chris_822]

@@mrbarrylewis you should see American cereals... they're so sugary! We have Reese's cereal. It's like corn pops but they're flavored with peanut butter and chocolate. Apparently we have corn pops here though I haven't had them since I was very little. I didn't even know you guys had cinnamon toast crunch. I thought that was an American thing. It's way too sweet for me. When I was a child we had French toast crunch which was really good. We have a cereal called puffins that I like. It's little corn cereal pillows coated in slightly sweet cinnamon or peanut butter coating. It's like a healthier version of some of those.

[@fernhadley845]

Just as a help. Wholemeal flour generally needs more fluid added to it as it sucks up a lot of fluid. A lot of wholemeal loaves aren’t 100% wholemeal flour. Also, as an idea, I guess you could try putting the dough through a pasta machine to make it even and thin 🤔

[@sayitskay]

Was there a fly in the kitchen Barry? What was the air swiping of the whisk for?
