Cinnamon Crunch Breakfast 'Cereal'
Crunchy and full of flavour, this homemade 'cereal' was inspired by one my husband used to love in Life Before Keto.

Ingredients
- 35 g almond flour
- 60 g 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.)
