Homemade Cinnamon Cereal
Description
The recipe combines almond flour and coconut flour with coconut sugar and cinnamon, creating a spiced base dough. The addition of egg white and melted coconut oil binds the mixture, which is pressed and rolled thin between parchment papers. Cutting into small squares allows for even baking at a high temperature, producing light, crisp squares after cooling. They are sprinkled with extra coconut sugar before baking to enhance sweetness and texture.
Baked briefly to avoid burning, the cereal squares develop a gentle crunch once fully cooled, making them suitable for eating as a dry cereal or a snack. The use of coconut sugar and cinnamon gives them a warm sweetness without overpowering the natural nutty flavor of the flours.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour 105 grams
- 1/4 cup coconut flour 25 grams
- 3/4 cup + 2 teaspoons coconut sugar divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 egg large, white
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, 3/4 cup coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.
- Add in the egg white and melted coconut oil. Using your hands, press the mixture together until it begins to moisten and you can pack it into a ball.
- Place half the dough between 2 large pieces of parchment paper and roll out until very thin, about 1/16-inch thick. Cut the dough into 3/4-inch squares and gently transfer to the prepared sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar over the squares and bake until they just turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. They burn very quickly so watch them closely in that last minute. Mine were perfect at 3 1/2 minutes. They will not be crunchy when they come out of the oven.
- Let the squares cool completely on the baking sheet.
