Description

Imagine starting your day with a delightful crunch and a burst of tropical flavor. This coconut breakfast cereal offers a satisfying alternative to traditional, grain-heavy cereals, allowing you to enjoy a comforting breakfast without compromising your dietary goals. It's incredibly easy to prepare, making it a perfect choice for busy mornings when you crave something quick yet delicious to pair with your coffee.

This cereal distinguishes itself by artfully blending toasted coconut chips with a medley of sunflower, pumpkin, and chia seeds, complemented by the delicate sweetness of shredded coconut. The seeds, gently toasted in a luscious syrup, mingle with desiccated coconut and a hint of warming cinnamon, creating an irresistible aroma and flavor profile. Once cooled, these toasted seed clusters are combined with crisp coconut flakes, ready to be generously drenched in ice-cold coconut milk.

The result is a symphony of textures and tastes – the delightful crunch of the toasted seeds and coconut, balanced by the creamy coolness of the milk, and the subtle sweetness that awakens your senses. The base of this cereal relies on the natural goodness of toasted coconut flakes. These can be readily found in stores, or you can easily toast your own to achieve your desired level of crispness.

A touch of maple-flavored syrup is used to enhance the sweetness, imparting a hint of caramel-like richness. Feel free to adjust the amount of syrup to your personal preference, ensuring the perfect level of sweetness to brighten your morning. This cereal is a versatile base for experimentation; consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite nuts or a handful of fresh berries for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to create a customized breakfast bowl that perfectly suits your tastes and dietary needs. Every spoonful offers a satisfying combination of textures and flavors, making it a truly enjoyable way to start your day.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, desiccated coconut, cinnamon, coconut oil and syrup to a skillet. Set the skillet over a low/medium heat. Stir to combine and gently toast the shredded coconut and seeds for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden. Stir regularly to ensure the seeds and coconut are well coated in the flavorings. Be mindful to keep an eye on the skillet whilst cooking, to be sure the seeds and coconut do not burn.
    2.
    Set the toasted seeds aside to cool completely. While the seeds cool, add the toasted coconut chips to a mixing bowl. Once the seeds have cooled, break apart any larger clusters. Add the cooled seed mixture to the bowl with the coconut chips/flakes. Stir well, mixing the seeds and coconut together.
    3.
    Divide the cereal between two serving bowls. Top each bowl of cereal with a half cup of cold coconut milk. Serve immediately. If desired, you may top your cereal with some low carb berries, such as raspberries or blueberries for serving. Be sure to factor this into your macros.
