Easy Keto Cereal (Chocolate & Vanilla)

Make a childhood breakfast low-carb and just as nostalgic with this keto cereal recipe, available in both chocolate and vanilla flavors. It takes just 30 minutes to make and can be stored away for those late-night cereal cravings or a quick and easy breakfast. 

We all know how nostalgic and delicious cereal can be, but did you know it’s not hard to make cereal from scratch? Most cereals on the shelves of our local supermarket look and taste amazing but are far from keto-friendly, so if you’re really in the mood to have a big bowl of cereal, we recommend giving our super easy keto cereal recipe a go. Plus, you’ll have two flavors to choose from, or if you’re like us and find it hard to pick just one, you can make a mixture of both. 

For our super easy recipe, you’ll just need to combine the cereal ingredients into the dough, cut them up into small pieces, bake them until crispy, and enjoy. The best part of making your own cereal is that no one expects you to have perfectly shaped balls. After you roll out your dough into a long and thin cylinder, you can then cut off small pieces based on your preferences. Do note that the larger the shape, the longer it needs in the oven.

Yields 4 servings of Easy Keto Cereal (Chocolate & Vanilla)

The Preparation

Vanilla Cereal:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 3 tablespoon allulose
• 7 tablespoon butter, melted
• 4 tablespoon almond milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Half:

• 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon almond milk

For Serving:

• 6 cups unsweetened almond milk

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 350F.

2. Mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and allulose. Then add the melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract.

3. Continue to mix until a dough is formed.

4. Split the dough in half. To half of the dough, mix in the ingredients for the chocolate half if you want to have a mixture of cereal flavors.

5. Take chunks of the dough and roll them into cylinders. Cut pieces of the cylinders off as you go along. Repeat with all of the dough you have.

6. Place the dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cereal is golden brown in color.

7. Allow them to cool off completely. Serve with your favorite low-carb milk replacement (sweetened to taste) and enjoy!
