Coconut & Almond ‘Cereal’
This grain-free Paleo cereal mix was inspired by the lovely Eleanor Ozich from over at Petite Kitchen.
I generally have it with coconut yoghurt and sometimes a handful of blueberries or raspberries. But you could eat it with milk or your favourite dairy-free milk if you prefer a more traditional ‘bowl of cereal’ experience.
takes: about 20 minutes
makes about 2 cups
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup sliced almonds
4 tablespoons psyllium (optional)
2 tablespoons chia seeds, whole or ground (optional)
1. Preheat your oven to 180C (350F). Spread almonds on a baking tray and toast for about 10 minutes. Stir and cook for another few minutes until the almonds are just lightly golden.
2. Cool the almonds on the tray then toss in the coconut, psyllium (if using) and chia (if using).
3. Store in an airtight container in the pantry for a few months.
Variations
raw ‘cereal’ – don’t worry about toasting the almonds.
sweet – feel free to add your favourite dried fruit. Or serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
more! – feel free to double of triple the recipe.
nut-free – replace almonds with sunflower seeds or pepitas or both. Skip the toasting step.
different additives – any whole, chopped or ground seeds or nuts like hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, linseeds, sunflower seeds or pepitas. You could also add rolled oats or oat bran for a more cost-effective cereal but it won’t be paleo any more.
