Wheaties Nut Drops Recipes

WHEATIES® NOUGAT BARS

Steps:

• Butter 8- or 9-inch square pan.
• In double boiler over hot water or in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and marshmallows, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Remove from heat.
• Fold in cereal, nuts, coconut and salt. Pat mixture evenly in pan.
• Pour melted chocolate over top; spread evenly. Refrigerate about 1 hour before cutting into 4 rows by 3 rows.

WHEAT GERM DROP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheet.
• Add the oil to the sugar gradually and mix well. Beat in the milk and the eggs. Stir in the whole wheat flour, baking powder, wheat germ and nutmeg and mix well.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of dough on the prepared baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes. Lower temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake for an additional 7 minutes.

GRAIN AND NUT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until fine. In a large bowl, combine ground oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, oil, egg, and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix wet ingredients into dry with a few swift strokes. Stir in nuts, if desired.
• Lightly oil a skillet or griddle, and preheat it to medium heat. Ladle 1/3 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet; cook the pancakes for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until brown.

WHEATIES TREATS

Steps:

• Combine sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and peanut butter in a large (big enough for 6 cups of Wheaties) sauce pan.
• Heat and continously stir mixture to just before boiling.
• Stir in Wheaties cereal until well coated.
• Transfer mixture to a metal or glass baking pan.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and place in 350 degree oven set on broil.
• Heat for 2-5 minutes, just long enough to melt the chocolate chips.
• Using a knife spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface of the mixture.
• Allow one hour for cooling, cut and serve.

SHERRY BUTTER NUT DROPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix the flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the sherry, making sure to finish with the flour. Stir in the ground pecans.
• Drop by the teaspoonful onto a cookie sheet and roll each portion between your palms to make smooth, even balls. Press each one into the cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg white. Using a fork, knife or another tool, press a design into the top of each cookie, or press a pecan half, right side up, into each ball or dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool a few minutes and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cool and let cookies sit overnight to ripen. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE WHEAT FLAKES CEREAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
• Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the honey and vanilla with the water in a liquid measuring cup, then slowly pour the liquid in a stream into the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes a pourable batter (like a thin pancake batter); add more or less water as necessary. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly all the way to the edges, smoothing the top so that it is quite thin (you can also use a rolling pin and roll the batter out between two sheets of parchment paper). It should be no more than 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake until the top is dry and begins to crack, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool until it is cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• Break the baked layer into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Spread the broken pieces evenly on the same baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through and redistributing on the baking sheet, until the flakes are dried and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely. The cereal can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
