Homemade Cracklin' Oat Bran

Since the only recipe for homemade Cracklin' Oat Bran was on a website Google didn't trust, I'm copying this one from the cached version for my own personal use. I haven't tried it, and probably shouldn't ... but I will someday. Here it is:

Homemade "cracklin' oat bran"-style cereal (approximately 4 small but filling servings)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 deg F.
2. In the bowl of a food processor add:
-1.5 cup GF rolled oats (or regular if not GF)
Pulse the oats until they are coarsely-ground.
3.  Then add:
-1/4 cup almond meal/flour
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 cup extra-virgin coconut oil
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-2 Tbsp organic brown sugar
-1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
-pinch sea salt
-1/4 tsp baking soda
Pulse until the mixture comes together, pulling off the sides of the bowl.  Taste and adjust seasoning/sweetness as desired.  If the mixture is too dry, add more coconut oil or maple syrup.  If it's too wet, add more almond meal/flour.
4. Spread the mixture on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet, or in the base of a 9" deep loaf pan, like I did.  Bake the cereal for 15-20 minutes until brown and crisp.  Remove and let cool--it will continue to crisp.
5. Once completely cool, break the cereal into pieces of desired size and store in an air-tight container.  Enjoy!
