Most of what I’ve been reading days to soak your grains. Why do you not do that with this recipe? Do you think it would work? Maybe give a chewy cookie? Also, do these freeze well? Thanks!!

Elizabeth, great question. I’m not 100% sure but according to Paul Stitt who wrote Fighting the Food Giants, ALL dry cereals that come in a box are extruded. I’m wondering myself about Ezekial, which is a sprouted grain cereal that looks like irregular crumbles – no shape whatsoever. Not sure if that is extruded or not.

Hey Michelle! I have a question about extruding. Does that apply only to cereals that are obviously processed (e.g. Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs)? Or is it also true of things like the organic line from Arrowhead Mills?

I grew up on Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms, but felt very virtuous for switching to whole-grain amaranth flakes and spelt flakes… but maybe my breakfast is still not as “whole” as it could be?

Kaylin, I am knocked out by your story! How fantastic! You must be familiar with Weston A. Price, yes? You have proven his work in your own house I think. Great job. Thank you for your comment!

I think I learn something every time I read one of your posts! Isn’t it funny how processed foods go through all sorts of steps to try to get foods essentially back to a modified version of their original state????? Great bfast cookies! I rarely buy cereal.
