I have the ingredient list from the box, but I cant seem to come close to getting this one to happen... Does ANYONE have a clone recipe for Cracklin Oat bran?

      <content>a couple of issues here:
- i really doubt Kellogg's would give you the info while the product is still available for purchase
- do you *really* have access to all the exact same ingredients (e.g. partially hydrogenated soybean oil &amp; modified wheat starch) to try to replicate it? </content>

      <content>Here's my take based on the ingredients and nutritional information for Kellogg's Cracklin Oat Bran.  I'd suggest you cut the batch by half or fourth to play with the proportions of the individual ingredients.  Let me know if you've tried something similar.  No guarantees!

Craklin Oat Bran Cereal

4C WHOLE OATS
1C WHEAT BRAN
1C BROWN SUGAR
1/2C PALM OIL or coconut oil or coconut milk
1/2C OAT BRAN
1/4C CORN SYRUP
1/4C SUGAR
2T COCONUT
2T MODIFIED WHEAT, rice, or  STARCH
1T CINNAMON
1T MALT or maple SYRUP
1T BAKING SODA
1T NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL VANILLA FLAVOR
1T SALT
1t NUTMEG
Crush 1+ multiple vitamin tablets for:
- NIACINAMIDE (Vit B)
- THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1)
- FOLIC ACID
- VITAMIN B12 AND VITAMIN D
- SODIUM ASCORBATE AND ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C)
- REDUCED IRON
- ZINC OXIDE
- PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6)
- RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2)
- VITAMIN A PALMITATE
SOY LECITHIN (used to keep the ingredients together in prepared foods - not needed)

Set oven to 350 and grease a rimmed baking sheet.
Combine and mix the dry ingredients in one large bowl  Combine and mix the wet - taste for flavor and balance (it will be very sweet). Add milk to thin if necessary.  Stir some of the wet into the dry.  Continue to add the wet until the dry ingredients will hold together.  Let the mixture sit 15-20 minutes to let the starches absorb the moisture.  Add more liquid as needed - it should be moist.  Turn the mixture onto the sheet and bake until dry.  Break up mixture into cereal sized bits.

PS This is rather high in sugar and transfats.  You could also add almonds, raisins, and other dried fruit and nuts.</content>
