Ingredients
- ⅓ cup (2½ fl oz/80 ml) coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz/28 g) granulated sugar
- 4 - 5 tablespoons water
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Notes
- You can make cinnamon sugar by mixing a quarter cup (2 oz/58 g) of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
- This dough should be a bit crumbly, like pie crust. Too much water will toughen the dough (but too little water will make it hard to stay together and roll out thin.) Add the minimal amount of water and then go slowly after that to feel it out.
- It’s important to roll the dough as thinly as possible or the squares will bake up too large and won’t be crunchy.
- You can leave off the cinnamon-sugar topping if you would like a less sweet cereal.
- Try serving this with Homemade Almond Milk or Homemade Yogurt!
