Chef Notes

  • If you don’t need this recipe to be gluten-free, try substituting in any of your favourite cereals in place of the 6 cups of gluten free cereal.
  • Can’t find dried peaches, or prefer another dried fruit? Try mixing things up by using dried currants, berries or raisins. You can usually find a wide variety of dried fruits at your local bulk food store.
