The invention relates to methods comprising the steps of producing a whole grain cereal flake product containing on a dry matter basis at least 4.0%(w/w) maltose and 1.0% (w/w) maltotriose comprising the steps of: a) providing a sprouted or malted (pseudo-)cereal of a non-peeled cereal, b) optionally adding sugar, c)incubating the composition of step a) or b) in moist conditions at a temperature for a time period allowing the enzymatic release of maltose and maltotriose from starch, d) further heating the incubated composition, e) flaking the heated composition, and f) drying the flaked composition. |
