Sometimes you might still get the urge to have a sweet, comforting breakfast that reminds you of your childhood. This cereal recipe has a familiar cinnamon-crunch flavor, but is made without sugar and contains a ton of very necessary fiber!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (38 g) finely grated coconut flakes
- ½ cup (68 g) ground flax seeds
- ½ cup (90 g) hemp hearts
- ½ cup (68 g) chia seeds
- 1 tbsp (8 g) ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp (36 g) LAKANTO or Swerve sweetener
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) butter, melted
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the coconut flakes, flax seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds, cinnamon and sweetener. Mix for about 5 seconds, then add the water, followed by the melted butter. Blend until all ingredients are combined, and a smooth dough forms.
- Spread the dough onto the cookie sheet using a rubber spatula, making it as even as possible until it’s about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the heat and bake for 20 minutes longer. Turn off the oven and let the cereal cool inside, so it becomes extra crispy.
- When the cereal has fully cooled, remove it from the cookie sheet, peel off the parchment paper carefully, then cut into ½ inch (13 mm) squares.
- If it is still soft in the middle after cutting, place back on the tray and cook at 200°F (93°C) for another 10 minutes, and let it cool in the oven.
- Serve with unsweetened almond milk.
