  • Cinnamon nut cereal

    Cinnamon nut cereal

    I’ve been missing cinnamon toast cereal lately. I tried looking everywhere at my local organic stores and I couldn’t find anything. So this inspired me to make my own and I started putting ingredients together… and now sharing with you.

    This is a great option for keto diet because this is a low carb  and no sugar recipe.IMG_8978

    You’ll need:

    ½ cup of unsweetened shredded coconut

    ½ cup of almonds (I used slivered almond)

    ½ cup flaxseeds

    1/3 cup of chia seeds

    1/3 sunflower seeds

    1 tbsp cinnamon

    1/3 cup of erythritol sugar (monkfruit or stevia)

    1/3 cup of coconut oil

    ½ tsp of vanilla

    Directions:

    Melt coconut oil

    In a bowl mix all ingredients

    Bake for 320 degrees for 25-30 minutes until its brown

    Allow to coolIMG_8852

    This is perfect with unsweetened almond milk.
  • Lemon Blueberry Muffin (Keto)

    Lemon Blueberry Muffin (Keto)

    This is my first time making muffin and it turned out so well. Since I’ve been on a low carb & no sugar diet I’ve been cooking/baking a lot of my food lately. Thanks to Keto recipes online I’m learning something new everyday. I heated this muffin with butter for 30 seconds in the microwave and paired this with my coffee. Such a perfect combo. Here’s how I made mine.
    Blueberry Lemon Muffin
    Ingredients:

    1/3 cup Unsweetened almond milk

    3 large Eggs

    1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

    The muffins were so good it lasted 5 days in our household. I will be tweaking the recipe more and I will post as soon I perfect this. 🙂
