Cereal Savers to the Rescue!
Fit Mama Foods is saving families from chemical-laden, artificial color-induced cereals, one recipe at a time.
We tried our hand at making healthy Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and it turned out so amazing that my kiddos asked me to triple this recipe and to make it every week.
Check out the easy recipe below:
Ingredients:
⅓ Cup Organic Coconut Oil (in a liquid state) or Grass-fed Butter, melted
4 - 5 Tablespoons of Filtered Water
¼ Cup Organic Monk Fruit or Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
2 cups Organic Gluten-Free Oat Flour or All-Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda (Aluminum Free)
Optional Topping Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Organic Monk Fruit or Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine the Organic Coconut Oil (or Butter), 4 Tablespoons of Filtered Water, Monk Fruit (or Sugar), and Pure Vanilla Extract. Set aside for a few moments.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Flour, Baking Soda, and Cinnamon. Stir the bowl of wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough ball forms (If it is too dry and will not hold together, add an extra Tablespoon of Filtered Water).
Once the dough will form nicely into a ball, divide the dough into two halves and roll each half out as thin as possible with a rolling pin on a lightly floured countertop.
Try to roll out the dough into the shape of a square or rectangle and place each dough sheet onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
If you would like to top the dough with a little sweetness, simply mix together the Cinnamon and Monk Fruit (or Sugar) and sprinkle it all over the top of your dough sheets. Use your rolling pin and lightly roll over the dough to make sure the Cinnamon mixture is sticking to the dough.
Now with a pizza cutter, lightly score/cut the dough into small squares (approximately 1/2 inch).
Then bake the dough sheets for 22-25 minutes until they are nicely golden brown. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool.
Once cooled, the pieces will easily separate and you may serve these with your milk of choice or simply enjoy them plain as a snack.
Please store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
