Cinnamon Toast Crunch Keto Cereal

This keto cinnamon toast crunch cereal is a crispy, crunchy, and tasty option for anyone doing keto that is missing cereal. It’s sugar-free, grain-free, gluten-free, and just plain delicious.

Giving up cereal can be a challenge for many people doing the keto diet. I totally get it since it’s a very convenient breakfast that many of us grew up on. 

However, the ridiculous amount of sugar and carbs in the majority of cereals makes it a no-no while doing keto. Even the cereals that claim to be healthy are packed with too much so-called “natural” sugar to be prohibitive. 

One of the primary reasons I share my keto recipes is to address cravings that can derail the best of intentions. I aim to create a keto-friendly option for whatever food you may be missing, with the hope that it will make the lifestyle doable. 

Fortunately, you do not have to say no to cereals forever with a keto breakfast cereal recipe like this. 

The good news is that with this low carb cinnamon toast cereal you can enjoy a bowl of cereal and not have to worry about the carbs.

It’s even a keto cereal that the children will enjoy. Yes, even the pickiest child will embrace this tasty low carb cereal.

Keto Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal

Let’s face it although when starting a keto diet your best bet is to stick with basics like eggs, bacon.  But even the best of us can get bored with bacon and eggs no matter how good they are. This is why it’s nice to have a keto-friendly cereal choice. 

Having several breakfast options will make sure that you are able to do the keto diet consistently. 

Do you that there are now quite a few low carb cereal options you can buy? But I warn you that you will need to carefully examine the labels since many use fillers that can spell trouble while doing keto. 

The other fact is that the few keto cereal brands that are on the market are quite expensive. I totally get that this is the case because the ingredients are generally higher in quality than say a regular box of cereal and because the demand is still low.

But it’s kinda hard to pay over ten dollars for a box that you might not even like, or could still cause your glucose levels to rise. Who’s with me on this?

That’s why creating your own homemade keto cereal is a practical solution for those that are craving cereal while doing keto. Granted it will not be as easy as pouring out of a box to make your own cereal. 

The truth is making your own cereal is quite fun. Why not include the kids in the process and teach them the value of knowing what’s in their cereal?

What I recommend is that you make a batch or two during the weekend and this way you can enjoy a bowl of cereal during the busy week when you need a quick breakfast option.

Please note that the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of this post. But I hope you read all my suggestions before creating the recipe. 

When I set out to make a keto-friendly cereal I wanted to ensure it had a great crunch. After all the texture is just as important as nailing the flavor.

I went for a cinnamon toast flavor because it’s a flavor many enjoy and what my daughter Michelle requested. You should know by now that this momma aims to always give her children recipes that will make this lifestyle easier. 

I was able to achieve the right texture by using a combination of almond flour, golden flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, and a little xanthan gum as the base.

This combo gave the cereal the crunch and mouth-feel I was after. The other benefit of using these ingredients, it that it makes this a cereal also high in fiber. Ain’t that cool?

I am a huge fan of finding ways to add more fiber to the keto diet. In fact, I have several high-fiber recipes to prove it. Here’s my recipe for Keto High Fiber Bread that’s another great breakfast option. 

I have linked the specific products and brands I use to make this cereal to ensure you get the same results. This is important because not all brands behave the same. So I encourage you to take a look to make sure you have everything you need to make this yummy cereal.

To make this cereal is actually pretty easy. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and then add the warm water, eggs, cinnamon powder, and granulated sugar-substitute to create a dough that is easy to roll. 

Then roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to ensure an even thin texture and then cut the dough into small squares using a pizza cutter before baking. Note that this recipe makes enough for eight cups of cereal, that’s a little over a week of keto cereal for one person. 

Once the cereal is baked and allowed to cool, toss it in a coating of cinnamon powder,  granulated sugar-substitute, and confectioner’s sugar substitute.  This gives the cereal the perfect combination of cinnamon and sweetener. 

Then once done, you can store your cereal in a sealed container in a cool dry place for up to five days. 

Keto Cinnamon Toast Cereal With Almond Milk

In case you are not aware you will have to swap out cow’s milk with a milk substitute like almond or coconut milk. This is because cow’s milk is high in carbs and will most definitely affect your blood sugar levels and kick you out of ketosis.  

Almond milk is a little thicker than regular milk and has a nutty flavor. While coconut milk has that bright white color that fools your eyes into thinking it’s regular milk it is however not as thick as almond milk.

So you have a few choices. The other thing to keep in mind is that this keto cinnamon toast cereal tastes flat-out delicious without any milk alternative too. It’s a great choice for when you are wanting something on the crunchy side.
