Finding healthy snacks for kids can be a real challenge and I’m always on the lookout for good recipes that will satisfy my little ones while keeping most of the junk food away. I love this recipe because it does both.
This was my first try at using the Wonder Mill and it was even easier than I expected. I was surprised by how quickly it milled the wheat berries and by how little clean up there was. I used hard red wheat for this recipe but that is only because it was the only type of wheat berry my local health food store carried. You can easily substitute for any type of wheat you prefer.
The ingredients are super simple and the taste is delicious. Give them a try. I’m sure your kids will love them.
