Description
Hearty paleo cereals bring morning energy to breakfast tables with wholesome ingredients. Nutrient-dense nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes combine for a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mixed nuts (raw, almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (unsweetened, cranberries, raisins)
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsps honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Gently mix nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and dried fruits in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring a uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Carefully drizzle honey or maple syrup over the dry ingredients, using a gentle folding motion to coat each element evenly without crushing delicate components.
- Spread the coated mixture across the prepared baking sheet in a thin, consistent layer to promote uniform toasting and golden-brown coloration.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, rotating the sheet midway to guarantee balanced browning and prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and allow the cereal to cool completely at room temperature, which helps it develop a satisfying crunch and prevents moisture buildup.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness, or serve immediately with chilled almond milk or creamy yogurt for a nutritious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Customize the mix by choosing your favorite nuts and seeds for unique flavor profiles.
- Swap honey with coconut nectar or agave for alternative sweetening options that suit different dietary needs.
- Watch carefully during baking to prevent burning, as nuts can quickly turn from golden to charred.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks to maintain crispness and prevent moisture absorption.
