Cold cereal isn't what I consider a particularly healthy breakfast. Granola and such are nice snacks, but super high in sugar and, therefore, carbs.
A nice mix of nuts with a scant sprinkle of dehydrated fruit would be a good way to start the day.
But for me, if I am looking for something on the run, a couple of hard boiled eggs and some veg works for breakfast

Do you have any homemade cereal recipes to with the HT class?

Not processed, no sugar added. Toast any of the cereal grain heads and eat cold. Again no processing other than cooking. Whole grains.

Didn't you ask the same question several months ago?
Since I can't drink milk my cold breakfasts involve yogurt, fruit, wheat germ (a new thing I've been trying) and nuts mixed together. I don't think much of it. I'd much rather have ham or bacon with eggs and cheese.
I really like egg, cheese, meat and salsa scrambles. But then I have to wash dishes and clean the kitchen afterward.

Ok, not exactly the same. You asked for how to make cold cereals, not which was healthiest.

Homemade Cold Cereal
What cold cereal can homesteaders make besides granola, muesli and grape-nuts? I want to bake any homemade cereal using off-grid baking options because i'm that kind of homesteader

There are none in my estimation if it isn't cooked first in some manner. Without having the proper machinery and other equipment needed to process, crush and extrude the cereals none are healthy without being properly cooked first before they can be eaten either hot or cold.
Stuff like puffed rice, puffed wheat, puffed corn etc. needs to be cooked just to get them puffed up. Raw granola or cereal flakes or shredded cereals all need to be blended with oils first to bind the ingredients and then it gets processed as to shape and form and then is oven baked. Many other cereal grains need to be either steamed or boiled to be edible.
Cooking cereals is what people have been doing for thousands of years to make the cereals more nutritious, palatable, digestible and most importantly, safe for humans to eat. The cereal has to be safe and have no contaminants, fungi or parasites in it.

Evidence? Of what?
There are recipes out there for roasted roadkill, but that doesn’t mean that I want to serve it at my house.

Well, all of those things call for some kind of cooking so what you found there is evidence that it all needs to be prepped and cooked from scratch first before you can eat it cold later. That was the point I was trying to make.
If you're happy to experiment and go through all that work of first prepping and cooking all of those recipes from scratch then go for it. It should be fun for you to experiment and learn what works best for you and what can be the most easily preserved for storage without quickly going rancid after you've made it.
If the only thing you really want to know here is what is the healthiest cereal grain to eat then I'd go with properly husked and cooked rolled or steel cut OATS as the very healthiest and most beneficial cereal grain to eat.

Not eating that. Don’t want to eat that. I don’t eat cold cereal. Too many carbs. I don’t like milk much, unless it’s made into yogurt, cheese, and ice cream.
Honey, you keep asking for input on cereal. Many of us DO NOT EAT CEREAL.

While traveling through Kyrgyzstan on horseback, I was introduced to a breakfast I had never tried or even heard of.
A handful of mixed nuts and a handful of raisins, washed down with tea or coffee. There was fresh milk if I wanted it, but I passed on it. Didn't want to take the chance of getting an upset stomach in the middle of nowhere.
If decided to go with a cereal I would go with rolled oats, or cracked corn. Chew it up and eat it dry, or cook it as a mush with some honey if I had it. Cold cereal with milk and sugar is a poor breakfast.

Trail mix? The idea had to come from somewhere.
Yup.
