I love cereal. My favorite is granola with lots of nuts and dried fruit. We can pretend it’s healthy…..
Second favorite: cinnamon toast crunch. Which is pure sugar-coma-inducing breakfast yumminess in all its glory.
I could eat cereal every day…probably the entire box. I have before…who hasn’t. But now I indulge in the “candy in a box” (what we call it in my house…so that our kids are not under the impression that it is a valid breakfast option) once a week. It is my treat on a weekend morning with coffee and a good book. I crunch away and sip a strong brew in the wee hours before anyone ease is up.
In college, I tried to come up with e recipe to make cereal in my apartment. Utter failure. But being one who does not give up easily, I have kept at it…. trying to make a healthy cereal that the kids would gobble up.
I will not profess that this is an exact copy of those cinnamon sugar squares, but it is might tasty, with a good crunch… even in milk. But it is also great a a snack for those afternoon munchies when you just *must* have something a little sweet.
- 1/2 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup chai seeds
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 -1 cup water
- 1/2 -1 tsp stevia (sweeten to taste)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- Preheat oven to 300
- Combine the dry ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add the water, and coconut oil and process until fully combined and mostly smooth. It may take 1/2 -1 cup of water.
- Spread the batter out on a parchment lined cookie sheet until nice and thin – about 1/16 of an inch thick. Bake at 300 oven for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 250 and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and using a pizza cutter, cut into ~1″ squares
- Turn off the oven and put the cereal back inside until completely dried out and crisp (I leave it overnight)
- Break into squares and store in an airtight container.
