Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Erythritol
- 2 tablespoon Cacao Nibs
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- Non-Dairy Milk, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) to prepare for toasting the coconut flakes.
- Prepare Coconut: Place the unsweetened shredded coconut in a small mixing bowl, ready for coating.
- Melt Butter Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, ground cinnamon, and granulated erythritol. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smoothly combined.
- Coat Coconut: Pour the warm butter and spice mixture over the shredded coconut. Stir thoroughly to ensure all coconut flakes are evenly coated.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated coconut flakes out in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even toasting.
- Bake to Crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Stir the mixture a couple of times during baking to ensure it crisps evenly. For extra crunch, bake up to 10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Cool the Flakes: Remove from oven and let the toasted coconut cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. This cooling step allows the flakes to firm up and become crunchier.
- Assemble the Cereal Bowl: Divide the toasted coconut flakes between two bowls. Top each with cacao nibs and pour your preferred amount of non-dairy milk over them.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dig in immediately for a crunchy, cinnamon-spiced keto cereal experience!
Notes
- Adjust the erythritol amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet cereal.
- If you like a crunchier texture, bake closer to 10 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Use a non-dairy milk of your choice, such as almond, coconut, or cashew milk, to keep it keto-friendly and dairy-free.
- This cereal does not have the same texture as grain-based cereals but offers a satisfying crunch and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and crunch.
