Keto Chocolate Cereal

The entire family will enjoy the crispy Keto Chocolate Cereal! It is quite simple to prepare and has a crunchy, chocolaty texture. Also, it has no sugar or nuts, making it a nutritious breakfast option. Almond flour/any nut flour is not for everyone because some people suffer from nut hypersensitivity; it is more common in small kids so I want to make this Keto Chocolate Cereal to be kids-friendly. An excellent alternative to almond flour is sunflower seed flour. Making your sunflower seed flour at home is much simpler. When sunflower seeds react with leavening ingredients like baking soda and powder, the interior of your baked products may turn an odd green. They are still edible, so don’t worry! This cereal only contains 3.2g of net carbs and 6.8g of proteins.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 & ¾ cup sunflower seed flour

• 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp. melted butter
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SUNFLOWER SEEDS FLOUR:

• This keto-friendly cereal’s foundation is sunflower seed flour, which adds structure and a subtle, nutty flavor without adding extra carbohydrates. For people who are allergic to nuts, it’s a fantastic substitute for almond flour.

COCOA POWDER:

• The cocoa powder keeps the cereal low in carbohydrates while adding a rich chocolate taste. For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.

KETO-FRIENDLY SWEETENER:

• A keto-friendly sweetener that tastes like sugar without carbohydrates is called Swerve Sweetener. If you would like, you may use Erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia in place of Swerve, or any other keto-friendly sweetener.

BAKING POWDER:

• Because baking powder aids in leavening, the cereal becomes lighter and somewhat puffier.

SALT:

• Salt balances sweetness and improves the chocolate taste.

EGGS:

• As a binder, eggs keep the components together and aid in the dough’s solidification.

MELTED BUTTER:

• Melted butter improves texture and smoothness by adding moisture and a rich, buttery taste. If you want to make this chocolate cereal dairy-free also so you can make it with ghee or coconut oil.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• The vanilla extract gives the cereal a pleasant, fragrant undertone and intensifies the chocolate flavor. You may add a little more for a stronger taste but don’t add too much because it could dominate the other flavors.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set the oven temperature to three hundred degrees F.
2. Mix the sunflower seed flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt in a big basin.
3. Stir in the egg, butter, and vanilla till the dough forms.
4. Line a big piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking surface with the dough.
5. Roll out as thinly as you can after covering with another piece of paper.
6. The top parchment should be removed.
7. Make tiny, 3/4-inch-wide squares by scoring with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
8. Bake for twenty-five to thirty minutes or till it gets firm.
9. Take it off and allow it to cool fully.
10. If not crisp, put it back in a heated oven (one-seventy-five degrees F) for an additional twenty to thirty minutes.
11. Slice and serve.

SERVING IDEAS:

• Serve the keto chocolate cereal with sugar-free coconut milk, almond milk, or any other low-carb milk substitute.
• Keto chocolate cereal also goes well with sugar-free full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt.
• We can also serve this keto chocolate cereal as a crunchy keto snack.

TIPS:

• Feel free to substitute almond flour if you are not allergic to nuts. It measures about the same as sunflower seed flour, cup for cup.
• Here, an Erythritol-based sweetener, such as Swerve, is necessary. If you use a different one, your cereal might not crisp up as well.
• Compared to the dry components, it will appear that there aren’t enough liquid ingredients, but believe me. The dough will come together if you continue to mix the egg and butter into the dry ingredients using a silicone spatula.
• To achieve the desired thin, crisp cereal bits, the dough must be rolled out extremely thin—1/8 of an inch or less.
