Say goodbye to store-bought options and savor a homemade and delicious start to your morning with this oat bran breakfast cereal that’s bound to become a household favorite. Start your day with a delicious and wholesome breakfast by crafting your own homemade version of Cracklin’ Oat Bran cereal. This oven-baked cereal combines the natural flavor of oat bran with a touch of cinnamon, creating a great-tasting treat that the whole family will love.

Kellogg’s  Cracklin’ Oat Bran is my favorite cereal. Made with whole-grain oats, a touch of warm cinnamon, and a dusting of nutmeg, it’s good stuff! I am not the only one – in searching the internet for recipes, I found the word “crack” used a few times to describe how addicting it is. I am sharing with you my Cracklin’ Oat Bran Cereal Clone recipe so that you can make a healthier version in your own kitchen.

You can make a healthier version of Cracklin’ Oat Bran Cereal in your own kitchen. This Cracklin’ Oat Bran Clone recipe is a delicious take on the popular high-fiber, whole-grain breakfast cereal and is made with oats, flakes of coconut, flax, and spices. Each serving has 5 grams of dietary fiber.

Why You’ll Love This Oven-Baked Oat Cereal

  • The whole grain breakfast cereal that is sold on the shelves of grocery stores has more ingredients than the homemade version. It also contains wheat bran, wheat starch, and malt flavoring – therefore prohibiting it from being gluten-free. The homemade copycat Cracklin’ Oat Bran has none of those nor palm, palm kernel and/or soybean oil with TBHQ, corn syrup, or soy lecithin.
  • It has no added folic acid, making it a great breakfast option for those who cannot tolerate the synthetic form of folate.
  • There are no eggs or dairy products in this, so if you must sample a little before it goes in the oven it should be okay.
  • You can use a food processor to make this irresistible cereal. It helps to blend the ingredients much better than a mixer or blender would.
  • It’s versatile. You can cut it into bite-sized cereal pieces or shape it into granola bars.

Ingredients

To make this tasty breakfast cereal, you need the following ingredients:

  • 1½ cups oats
  • 1 cup oat bran
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • ½ cup ground flax seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, in a liquid state
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make Cracklin’ Oat Bran

Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees.

Oats and spices in a food processor bowl.

Add all of the dry ingredients to the well of a large food processor and pulse it 5-6 times. Next, add the remaining ingredients and process on high until the mixture is moist.

Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. A nice, somewhat thin layer is ideal so that it can “dry” out when it bakes. That’s what makes it “crackle.” 

Baking Time

Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes.

Once the cereal is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool. Break the granola into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Alternatively, after you remove the cereal from the oven and while it is still warm, gently cut (score) it into small rectangles but don’t separate it.

If you want to try to replicate the hole in the middle, insert a chopstick point into the middle of each piece and lightly move it around. The cereal will be soft and pliable while it is still hot. Allow it to cool and harden, then break it into pieces.

How To Store Homemade Cereal

Storing homemade cereal is a breeze and ensures your delicious creation stays fresh for extended enjoyment. After preparing your batch, allow it to cool completely to prevent moisture buildup. Then, transfer the cereal into an airtight container, ensuring it’s sealed tightly to prevent moisture from sneaking in. Store this container in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or kitchen cupboard.

The homemade version won’t have those perfectly shaped in the cute little “O’s” like Kellogg’s. At least we know exactly what is in our cereal and just how fresh it is.

    This recipe was very tasty. I substituted some molasses and honey for the maple syrup. Also, I used vegetable oil for the coconut oil and wheat bran for the oat bran, since these were all ready in my pantry. It turned out wonderful all the same.

    It’s in the oven now. I was eating it before I baked it and it was so oat-y and delicious; I had to force myself to stop eating it.
    I used coconut sugar and a little corn syrup. I was out of molasses. I also added in coconut flour, pecan flour and coconut butter.
    I didn’t have coconut oil so I opted instead for olive oil and avocado oil.
    Next time I might just go for all avocado oil since the flavor is more neutral.
    I meant to add more cinnamon, but next time I won’t forget.
    Thank you for the recipe. Genius!

    Great recipe! The gluten and non-gluten team loved it. I didn’t have all the ingredients-made it without the molasses so I added a bit more grade B maple syrup. I did use steel cut oats! I just grounded it to a powder because I didn’t have oat bran, I go with what I’ve got.

    Oh, I added ground pecans to the mix because…I like pecans! The grandkids call it Scooby Snacks because…it looks like dog food and tastes “like a hug”. What more could you ask of a treat?

    We are going to add cocoa nibs the next time we make it. Thanks for posting~

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. Cracklin oat Bran was my favorite cereal growing up, but I’ve been gluten free for several years and have just pined for it in passing at the grocery store. I made this recipe just as described using my vitamix and it came out perfectly. Everyone loved it, even those self-professed gluten loving junk food members of the family! This will be our go-to for cereal, granola bites and granola bars for years to come. A million thanks!

    This recipe is delicious! AND way better than the brand itself.
    Used 1/2 as much maple just because I prefer less sweet and the cereal is almost too sweet.
    Will make again and next time halve the brown sugar rather than the maple for better forming.

    Hi! I made this this morning because I had a craving for my favorite cereal and wanted to make my own healthier version. While the middle mass of the granola turned out awesome (delish, crispy and crunchy, thank you), the outside edges all burned pretty badly. Have you ever experienced this? Guessing I should either bake at 5 degrees lower, or 5 min less…

    Reply
    • Lynda says

      May 12, 2021 at 9:57 am

      Sorry to hear about the edges. I use a baking stone (pan) and it cooks evenly. I am guessing that if your sheet pan was made of metal, that could have been the reason.

      One other option might be to create a small shield for the edges to protect them from burning. (Think of how people do that when baking pie crusts.)

    I just made something like this, only the main ingredients were almond flour & coconut flour. I thought, “Hmmm, that tastes like Cracklin Oat Bran!” So I came online looking for a MYO recipe & found yours. I’ll experiment with a hybrid of yours & the almond/coconut flour version (as I’m gluten free). Thanks for sharing!

      Being that the flax seeds are there for added nutrition and not for any other purpose, you should be able to omit them.

    This is brilliant and exactly what I was looking for.
    I used to enjoy this cereal as a kid before the recipe change in 1989. Due to pressure from “public health advocates,” Kellogg removed the coconut oil. Saturated fat was considered evil at the time, and they replaced it with far worse soybean and cottonseed oils.
    I occasionally wonder why a healthier alternative isn’t offered today to capitalize on the popularity of trends like organic foods and coconut oil.

      @Nate,
      Coconut oil is as unhealthy as always. It’s popular because of marketing that cast it against the (even worse, but now mostly gone) trans fat. America loves unhealthy food backed by clever spin, such as coconut…and bacon.

    I finally made this recipe today. It turned out very good. I did make a couple of changes: I substituted 1 cup of almond flour for the cup of oat bran; substituted 1/2 cup coconut sugar for the 1/2 cup brown sugar; omitted the nutmeg. Also, I mixed the dry ingredients in a large bowl until well blended, then mixed all the liquid ingredients together, made a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and poured it in, mixing well with a wooden spoon. I used an 11″x 15″ stoneware bar pan lined with parchment paper, pressed it out flat and baked it at 325*for 25 minutes as directed. When it cooled, the edges were crispy and the middle was somewhat soft. So you may need to bake it longer if you want it to be crispy all the way through. My daughter and I think this is better than the Cracklin’ Oat Bran. We crumbled half of it to use like cereal and cut the other half into bars. An excellent recipe and not hard to make variations. Raisins would be a nice addition. Thank you for sharing this!

    My family and me LOVE Cracklin’ Oat Bran but those skinny expensive boxes of cereal never last long enough! Pinterest came to the rescue again. I compared several copycat recipes and decided this one looked like the one to try. I(we) we’re not disappointed! It’s very close to the right flavor. My kids all agreed! As some others commented, I’d cut back the brown sugar slightly next time. I also baked it long and slow like I do my other granola recipes rather than the way the recipe instructed here. 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours without stirring. Then stir and crumble it to bite sized chunks as soon as it’s out of the oven. Gets crispy, crunchy as it cools. Turned out perfectly!

    This recipe is fantastic! I made it last night. Everyone in the family loved it. Super tasty. Next time I’m going to cut the sugar dramatically. It seems with the brown sugar and syrup it’s a similar amount of sugar to the real COB, or more :(. Still, this is yummy and I don’t want to knock what you’ve done here. It’s awesome, and I think will be a little healthier with a reduction of the sugar.

This is very close, if not better in taste, and the whole family LOVES it. Mostly we eat it in the shape of small granola bars for snacks but its great crumbled up in milk too.

I divided it into 12 servings so I could be “reasonable” about eating it! I sprayed the back of a silicone spatula with coconut oil spray which helped me spread it out. I baked mine on silicone mats and it worked fine. Thanks!

        Hi Lynda – For some reason I couldn’t locate the field to leave a comment. So, here I am just having eaten my version of your recipe, but as a hot cereal. I was curious to see if others have been doing the same as I didn’t use a recipe . . . just instinct after tiring of oatmeal.
        Interestingly, my ingredients are the same, with a couple caveats: Oat Bran, dried/unsweetened coconut, flax meal, cinnamon and chopped walnuts or pecans (sometimes toasted!). I use water due to milk sensitivity. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of honey . .other times I top my bowl with fresh berries or banana. I think we all should decrease the amount of sugar in our diets a bit and get our taste buds used to the natural sweetness of things like Oats. It’s there. So, I’d suggest trying your recipe with simply dried, flakes of coconut for starters . . . then decrease or eliminate the brown sugar. If you add some ground nuts (almost like a flour . . . maybe try almond meal), you’ll make your snack a complete protein and probably find eating less of it will be more satisfying for longer.
        As you see, you’ve inspired me! Glad I found your posting!

    I plan to use the bran cereal and whole wheat pastry-flour that I already have in my pantry. I will also leave out the cinnamon and nutmeg. And thanks for the reminder to use ground flax seeds instead of eggs.
    Before this search, I really was not aware of the poor ingredients in the store bought brand. Thanks so much.

    I stumbled across your post when doing a search on Cracklin Oat Bran. As soon as I get to the store to buy some oat bran I will make this! I gave up the commercial version in about 1992 when they added nutmeg to the recipe. Now I can make my own and leave out the nutmeg…and the TBHQ, and other questionable “stuff.” Here goes the diet…. lol

        I had to go to two store to get the single ingredient I was missing (oat bran.) Made it this morning…FIVE STARS!!! I will be making this regularly for a “healthy-er” snack. The best part is that I can adjust it to my personal preference. In addition to leaving out the nutmeg, I think I will likely reduce the brown sugar by half. I’ve cut sugar in so many things that I now find many recipes too sweet. I won’t change a single other thing as I think it is fabulous! Thank you, thank you for sharing this recipe!

    Absolutely delicious. Made exactly as directed and I agree with your daughter this is better. I had almost all the ingredients in my pantry so all I needed to pick up was the flax seeds. A little pricy if you have to buy all to start but then you could make multiple times so not too bad. Love this thanks for sharing your recipe.

    First off, I’m jealous of your Christmas gift. I keep thinking that I can make do without a food processor but it really would simplify things. Your cereal looks delicious, and personally, I prefer the clumps to the O shape.

    My husband has suffered for most of his life with digestive issues and until now no one has been able to diagnose him… he has more of taken it to be more of a lifestyle for him. Now that I’m learning more and more about ciliacs, I’m watching his diet and thinking that is a large part of his issue. I’m printing out this recipe and pinning it because it’ looks like something he may enjoy!

    Now that looks AWESOME! Not sure I can get all of these ingredients here, but I will try. I love cereal, and so many US brands are not available here.

    Thanks SO much for stopping by my blog this morning and taking the time to leave a comment.

    Hugs from Ecuador,
