How To Make Homemade Keto Cold Cereal For Breakfast

 Make Homemade Keto Cold Cereal Into A Delicious and Healthy Breakfast Option

Starting your day with a nutritious breakfast is crucial, especially when following a keto diet. Traditional cereals are often packed with carbs and sugar or unhealthy grains. Still, with this homemade keto cold cereal recipe, you can enjoy a delicious, crunchy breakfast without breaking your carb budget. This guide will walk you through the steps to make your own keto-friendly cereal, calculate the carb grams in a 1-cup serving, and suggest tasty additions like coconut or almond milk and low-carb fruits.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup water

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, shredded coconut, erythritol, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Add Wet Ingredients:

Add the melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a dough-like consistency.

Spread the Dough:

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use a rolling pin or your hands to spread the dough out into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Cool and Break:

Allow the cereal to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break it into small pieces or cereal-sized chunks.

Store:

Store the cereal in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or freeze for 3 months.
