These healthy homemade triscuits only take minutes to make, and are seriously addicting!
It’s official! I leave for my 8 week NACUFS internship at the University of Connecticut tomorrow! Although my summer vaca was just about a week long I got A LOT accomplished. Got my first car (on my own I might add!), had a blast at a Jack & Jill for my bride-to-be Katie, saw plenty of friends and family, along with countless other things I needed before departing for the majority of the summer. The only thing left, and of course the biggest task at hand is finding my housing for my Alabama internship. One day at a time though….
I have long been wanting to try this recipe and with the gorgeous sun and time on my hands I am glad I tried it today! Be warned. This is extremely addicting. Proceed with caution!
I always buy the plain shredded wheat cereal for one of my morning routine breakfasts. Sounds boring, I know, but I jazz it up so it doesn’t resemble eating soggy cardboard. I will post a recipe sometime soon for my breakfast bowl concoction with shredded wheat, yogurt, milk, and mix-ins. Being a blank canvas as the plain shredded wheat is, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to make homemade triscuits, or something similar. The bite-sized biscuits are pretty much triscuits on their own, but with a lack-luster flavor, calling to be dowsed in a buttery, salty bath. It also reminded me of making homemade chex mix, thus I called it Trix-Mix!

I seriously could not stop eating this stuff! It has inspired me to try again and again, experimenting with different flavors! Cajun, Parmesan, Rosemary…the possibilities are endless! This serving has 160 calories, but if you used a regular butter or oil it would be a bit higher, but still a healthy and oh so delicious snack. They are perfect for dipping in hummus, or shoveling in your mouth which I am about to do right about……..
Any flavor ideas out there?
So funny! I was looking at your FB post for the chicken Caesar soup and then began browsing through your recipe archives. Imagine my delight when I discovered this post with a reference to your internship at UConn! Happy memories!
Yes! Is the internship blog still up? I’d love to read through it, and remember those days! So much fun 🙂
It is still up. Go to:

Great picture of you as the hula girl and Laura as the beach hunk.
Do you roll the mixture out ? How do you cut them?
Oh I guess it’s the actual cereal ?. Does the cereal thin out?
Hi Sky! The cereal doesn’t flat out, but is rather just mixed with the seasoned butter. Hope this helps!
This isn’t “HOMEMADE TRISCUITS,” you’re just flavoring store-bought cereal!
Shame, shame! You’re robbing SEO from people who actually did post a *real recipe* for HOMEMADE TRISCUITS.

No she didn’t. There’s no such thing as a wholly homemade triscuit recipe, because we don’t have the extruder machines to turn the dough into lttle thin strands and weave them together. This is as close as you can get at home, and I for one think it’s a fantastic idea. Geez, why are some people so quick to become outraged about every little thing?
