Sugar Free Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal Cooking Recipe!

November 19, 2018 by admin

As a kid I LOVED breakfast cereal. I mean what kid wouldn’t?! It was crunchy, sweet, and just plain delicious. My favorite, hands down, was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The stuff was totally addicting and there was nothing more satisfying than crunching into one of those delicious little sugary morsels.

Now, for those of you who loved this cereal as much as I did, I have some disappointing nutrition information:

In 3/4 cup serving (who eats just 3/4 cup?!) there are 10 grams of sugar! Yea… that’s just depressing.

I wanted to recreate my favorite childhood cereal in a “Cookies to Kale” approved way! Due to some dietary restrictions, I have had to cut my sugar back to almost zero. This cereal recipe is 100% sugar free! I used quinoa flour to bulk up the protein factor a bit, and added some healthy fats to aid in absorption.

I will admit, the texture isn’t exactly what I wanted. It isn’t super crunchy, but for someone who hasn’t enjoyed cereal in YEARS, this totally does the trick. I topped mine with Coconut milk, and added some extra stevia and cinnamon for sweetness. I made a big batch and it has kept really nicely over the week. It’s super easy to make, and is totally guilt free! This is definitely a fantastic alternative to the traditional SUGARY breakfast.
