Eat this cereal in the morning, for lunch or dry when you need a snack.

We have a lot of breakfast recipes on this site but we lacked a cold cereal, and I’ve been meaning to share it for a while.

Ingredients

If you see an ingredient that doesn’t work for you in the recipe, simply switch it out for something you have, like, want, whatever.

You can make this cereal a little bit different each time depending on what you have around.

• Sliced Almonds
• Walnuts
• Unsweetened coconut flakes
• Sesame seeds
• Flax seeds
• Chia seeds
• Ground cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Vanilla extract
• Salt
• Allulose – optional
• Egg whites
• Coconut oil

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

You can switch it up whenever you like. As you can see, like in the shot below I sometimes add raisins to make cereal for my low carb but not exactly Keto teenager.

• Preheat oven to 350° and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a spray of olive oil or whatever you like to use. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients EXCEPT the egg white.

• Beat egg whites, allulose and melted coconut oil together until combined and the allulose has dissolved (if using). Mix into the nut/granola mixture until it’s all coated.Dump onto prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden, gently stirring halfway through. Let cool completely.

• Serve or store in an airtight container.

Hint: You can make cereal for the whole family, Keto or not using this same method. Add whatever ingredients they like and say goodbye to processed cereal and their funky ingredients.

Substitutions

• Walnuts – instead of walnuts you can sub in pecans or hazelnuts.
• Chia Seeds – instead of chia seeds you can sub in basil seeds.
• Vegan – the egg whites can be subbed for a bit of xanthan gum and water to get a sort of coating on the nuts and seeds before baking.

Variations

In case you missed it above, this Keto Cereal Recipe isn’t just for Keto Lovers. It can be switched up for the kids or anyone else that eats breakfast at your house.

• Spicy – add extra cinnamon to the mix and maybe a dash of ground clove to give it that little bit of seasonal flavor.
• Deluxe – add a few berries to the bowl when you are ready to eat your cereal.
• Kid friendly – add raisins or craisins to make it a bit sweeter for the kids.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make your nuts go from perfectly golden to burnt fast.

I really like to use a metal pan like this for this Keto Cereal recipe.

Storage

Store the finished cereal in an airtight container for weeks.

These ingredients stand up well to freezing if you really want to freeze your cereal.

Top tip
