This was by far my most favorite breakfast when I was a kid (most people would probably agree with me, right?). Delicious cinnamon toast crunch truly brings back some fantastic childhood memories. A bowl of crunchy, cinnamon-flavored cereal with some milk definitely sounds like a huge no-no while on a keto diet, doesn’t it? I thought so too.
For a while now, I’ve been trying to re-create the original recipe with some regular, low-carb substitutes. The results weren’t really good. In most cases, I would end up with soggy pieces of dough that had nothing to do with the real thing I was used to. Naturally, the store-bought cinnamon toast crunch is loaded with artificial flavors and colors (along with highly processed carbs) I never expected in a homemade version. I just wanted to create the closest thing I could possibly get. Up until recently, I thought I would definitely have to give up my favorite breakfast option and replace it with some of my regular low-carb morning recipes.
However, just when I was about to give up, a friend of mine shared this recipe with me. I was a bit skeptical but I decided to give it a try. And, it was fantastic! The unique cinnamon flavor, a fantastic crunchy texture…everything I remember eating as a kid! I couldn’t believe I can finally enjoy a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch that’s keto (and even paleo) friendly!
I want to share this beautiful recipe with all of us who grew up on this delicious, crunchy cereal! Serve with a bowl of cold, unsweetened almond milk and enjoy!
