A Crunchy Fresh Keto Cereal Recipe

by Amanda C. Hughes

Do you crave cereal as much as I do? I mean, I rarely even ate cereal before, but now that I can’t have it, I miss it. The same goes for chocolate and ice cream which I never, ever would have craved in the past. Now, when I’m having a bad day, I just want an ice cream cone. Possibly covered in a Hershey’s bar.

Not to say that keto isn’t a craving killer—it is. But just like quitting smoking, the longer you’re off the bad stuff, the further apart the cravings get. When you’re only packing in 20 carbs per day, you’re never hungry. At least I’m not. It actually takes work to cook up a craving most days. My weaknesses are movies that are seriously lacking in the salty fluffy popcorn department.

But I digress…

Cereal. I’ve figured that one out. I’ve posted keto cereal once before, but have drastically improved the already basic formula so I wanted to post again.

I love strawberries, and adding two to my bowl of fresh keto cereal is just enough sugar without overdoing it. The total net carb count on this is 5 grams, with 5 grams of fiber! Since it’s good to pack your carbs into the morning, this is a good excuse to toss in a couple of tasty strawberries. This fresh keto cereal is perfect to eat while watching Saturday morning cartoons!

So I just came across this and was wondering how well does it keep. Could I just make a big batch and store it in my cereal container?

Adrianna March 12, 2013 - 11:33 pm

Yup, I store them in a Tupperware container, lasts for at least a few weeks!

Sandy Skinner May 3, 2013 - 7:10 pm

Thank you so much for this recipe – I love coconut! One question though… Can I substitute watered-down cream for the milk?

Adrianna Muse May 3, 2013 - 7:17 pm

I don’t see why not, neither of them have any net carbs! 🙂

This is a wonderful substitute! I was skeptical, but both my husband and I love it! We added a small amount of toasted chopped almonds (raw to begin with) and a few chopped walnuts. We used 1/4 of the almond milk (pretty much just moistens the “cereal”). It did, of course, add additional carbs but we just took that into account for the rest of the day. Thank you for sharing this!

Glad you liked it! I like to add almonds too!

Hello, how much is one portion? Have just made this – thanks!

WickedStuffed February 7, 2014 - 10:19 am

It’s up to you, but I usually have 1/2 a cup and am satisfied 🙂 Keto will do that to you!

sounds great.  i’ve actually mixed shredded coconut (can be toasted) with some nuts, spices and coconut oil.  i mix together to get clumpy and put in the fridge.  they are chewy little nuggets that stick together with the coconut oil being cold and then staying cold with the “milk.”  perfectly keto!  thanks for the recipe!

This is so smart!

Hubby and I just started the keto way last Sunday. Love this breakfast idea! Thanks! We were tired of bacon and eggs every morning already!

tcircleranch March 9, 2016 - 12:26 pm

My husband and I started the keto lifestyle almost 3 weeks ago and doing really good, but in the last week both of us have been “missing ” something sweet. Just tried this this morning with unsweetened organic coconut milk and all I can say is omgish!!!!. This was awesome and took care of the craving . Thank you so much!

Southiegirl March 10, 2016 - 6:24 am

I added some ground raw almonds to this mixture and it added a bunch of extra goodness!

wickedstuffed March 17, 2016 - 4:42 pm

Southiegirl Yum, I do that too sometimes! The plain cocoa powdered ones are good in it as well!

Hi,

How much coconut flake is in 1 pack of bob’s red mill? I already have unsweetened coconut flakes in my pantry, so I’d prefer not to go buy it. Also, how much cinnamon did you use? Thanks

WickedStuffed April 13, 2017 - 11:04 am

Hi Sheila, you can use as much coconut as you like, the key is just to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn (a package is probably three or four cups). For cinnamon, I sprinkled a light layer over the top from the container. I think it’s a better non-measurement than trying to sprinkle from a measuring spoon which might make it clumpy and not well spread. Luckily this recipe is not an exact science. You can flavor to your own tastebuds as you go. 🙂
