Has anyone dried spent brewing grains, made flour and used it in baking?
I have access to a large amount of spent grain from an active home brewer and am interested in making bread from the grains. I've seen a lot of recipes that use the grain while it is still wet but I'm interested in dehydrating the grains and milling them into flour. This would allow me to try the grains in things like bread, energy bars, cookies...

http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/oatmeal-crackers-recipe.html The recipe calls for oatmeal cooked in milk; I used spent grains hot from the brewing, boiled in the milk instead. I put in some cracked grains of paradise and a bit of thyme. I think they turn out really nice.
I've also had some success with soda bread, very heavily leavened.
I have found the recipes from the Brooklyn Brew Shop blog the Mash to be very helpful.
