Description

Imagine starting your day with a bowl of crispy, chocolatey goodness—without any of the guilt. This homemade chocolate cereal offers a delightful alternative to conventional, sugar-laden breakfast options. Crafted with care, it provides a satisfying crunch and a rich, chocolate flavor that will awaken your taste buds.

The secret to this delectable cereal lies in the thoughtful combination of ingredients. Almond flour forms the base, lending a subtle nutty undertone that complements the deep, dark cocoa powder. The addition of eggs helps bind the ingredients together, while a touch of avocado oil contributes a delicate richness and ensures a perfectly crisp texture.

Creating this cereal is surprisingly simple. Just blend the ingredients in a bowl until a uniform dough forms, roll the dough until thin between sheets of parchment paper, and lightly score into tiny squares. Then, bake until golden and irresistibly crispy.

Once baked, the cereal maintains its satisfying crunch for several days when stored in an airtight container. This makes it a perfect make-ahead breakfast option for busy mornings. Serving suggestions are endless.

For a lighter option, try pairing with your favorite unsweetened nut milk, such as almond or cashew. If you crave a creamier texture, canned coconut milk adds a decadent touch that transforms the cereal into a truly indulgent treat. For a more substantial and nourishing meal, consider enjoying it alongside a savory dish like spinach and eggs.

This combination of flavors and textures creates a balanced and satisfying start to your day. Feel free to experiment with different fats like olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, or butter. This homemade cereal is more than just a breakfast option; it's a blank canvas for culinary exploration.

Its adaptability and rich flavor profile makes it a welcome addition to any breakfast or snack routine, providing a satisfying crunch and a burst of chocolatey goodness.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 300 F. Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon to combine.
    2.
    Next, add in all the wet ingredients. Use the spoon to mix the dough into a homogenous mass. The dough will be fairly stiff.
    3.
    Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll the cereal as thin as possible (about ")"). Remove the top piece of parchment paper.
    4.
    Using a pizza cutter or a paring knife, score the dough into small squares about ") x "). The dough will bake and cause the lines to merge together. However, once the dough is baked and cooled, the lines will help with breaking the dough into square pieces.
    5.
    Slip the bottom piece of parchment paper with the dough attached to a baking sheet. Then bake for 25-27 minutes until the dough is baked through and brown on the edges. The dough will still be soft at this point. Allow the dough to cool completely on the baking sheet so it will harden/crisp.
    6.
    Once cooled, break the cereal into pieces along the score lines. Serve with milk of choice. Store the cereal in an airtight container for up to three days.
