Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- ½ cup Coconut Flour
- 6 Tbsp refined Coconut Oil
- 4 Tbsp Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla
Chocolate pieces:
- 1–2 Tbsp unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 extra Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 extra Tbsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Mix together the almond and coconut flours with a large spoon. Now add the melted coconut oil, syrup and vanilla. As you are mixing everything together, form a large ball.
- Take a small portion of dough at a time, roll and form it into a long, thin piece, so that you will be able to make small pieces from it. I like to take a small knife and cut small pieces which make it easier to be able to make small balls. The smaller you cut the pieces, the smaller the cereal pieces will be.
- Once all of the cereal balls are formed then bake them for 10-15 minutes, or until the cereal turns a golden brown. Take the tray out of the oven and let cool.
- If you want to make half of the cereal in chocolate, then take the big ball of dough and cut it in half. Add 1 extra Tbsp cocoa, 1 extra Tbsp each of keto syrup and vanilla and blend thoroughly. Then follow the same instructions for forming the balls.
- Once they are cooled off for 2-3 hours, feel free to eat them and then store the rest in an airtight plastic container or a glass jar with a tight lid.

Double the batch and store it in an airtight glass jar and it will last for quite a few weeks. It makes a quick breakfast choice and also a great snack.
Storing: This keto cereal is so easy to store when you have leftovers. In fact, make a double batch and store it in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. It will last for a few weeks.
