“The cinnamon flavour of this homemade keto breakfast ‘cereal’ was inspired by Nestle’s CURIOUSLY CINNAMON (an orange box) that Funnyman used to love in Life Before Keto. I got to work using my existing recipe for my crackers and replaced the seeds with shelled hemp seeds. It is packed with LOT of ground cinnamon and sweetener and then partially baked before cutting into small squares. After the second bake, I dry out the pieces in my Ninja Air Fryer. This recipe makes approx. four 40g servings (weight after drying out), so that’s breakfast sorted for a few days!” – Monya

More on Keto Breakfast Cereal…
It can be challenging finding a satisfying and nutritious breakfast cereal that aligns with the low-carb lifestyle. However, this homemade creation combines the goodness of almond flour, hemp seeds, and ground flaxseed. It will kickstart your day while keeping your carb intake in check.

Almond flour is rich in healthy fats and protein, as are hemp and flaxseed. These all contribute to a well-rounded nutritional profile. Almond flour offers a smooth, nutty flavour while serving as a low-carb alternative to traditional grain-based cereals.
Hemp seeds offer a unique blend of omega-3 fatty acids and plant-based protein. Ground flaxseed, renowned for its fibre content, aids in digestion and supports a healthy gut.
The mixture undergoes a two-step process to achieve that desirable crunch. Initially, it is baked to perfection to maintain shape. Then, it is sliced and transferred to an air fryer for dehydration to achieve crunch.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Cinnamon Crunch Breakfast 'Cereal'
Per serving
Ingredients
- 35 g (1.2 oz) almond flour
- 60 g (2.1 oz) powdered erythritol, confectioners
- 3 TB ground (milled) flaxseed
- 3 TB shelled hemp seeds
- 2 TB ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6). Place a large silicon mat onto a large baking tray.
- Cut a large sheet of baking parchment paper and set aside for use later along with an second tray (as it will come in handy too).
- Combine the almond flour, sweetener, ground flaxseed, hemp seeds and ground cinnamon in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs very well.
- Pour the whisked egg into the dry mixture and mix well to combine.
- Pour the sludgy mixture out onto the silicon mat and use a silicon spatula to spread into a thin, even layer.
- Once you are happy with your perfect rectangle of even height, place the tray into the oven for 6 minutes only.
- After 6 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Now, here is the tricky part: Place the sheet of parchment on top of the partially baked mixture and very gently (using a large egg-lifter or an extra pair of hands) flip the entire thing so that you can bake the underside. I found that placing a second large tray on top and doing a quick flip helped me the most which is why I suggested you have one at hand.
- Your partially baked mixture will now have the parchment paper underneath it. You will no longer need the silicon mat., so carefully peel it off.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the piece into very small squares, approx. 2cm. The 'dough' should not have cooked too hard yet and will be easy to slice.
- Return the tray to the oven for an additional 8-9 minutes. (Keep your eye on them, as thinner-spread parts may burn.)
- Remove the tray from the oven and tip all the pieces into the basket of your Ninja. Place on the DEHYDRATE setting and leave in there for 1 hour.
- Store in a sealed container and enjoy with unsweetened almond milk and additional sweetener, if needed. (Almond milk and additional sweetener are not included in the macros here.)

Hi Monya
Loving your recipes and I would really try this one, but is there an alternative to ‘dehydrating’. While I have a Ninja multi cooker it doesn’t have a dehydrate function.
Thanks
Jacqui
Hi Jacqui,
Thank you!
After baking, you could lower the oven temperature completely to its lowest setting, and return the little pieces in there to dry out further. Keep the oven door slightly ajar so you aim for a low temp of 40-6C. You dont want to burn it, you just want to dry them out :)
