I’ve kinda had a thing for cereal lately. Not really for breakfast much, but for snacks and evening munching. It’s so easy to mindlessly munch on cereal, so I try to have healthier cereals on hand.
Cereals that don’t come with crazy long ingredient lists, and ingredients I can recognize. But these cereals come with a pretty penny around $2.50/box.
I like to jazz it up with some raisins or dried cranberrries, sunflower seeds and cinnamon. Quite tasty, but doesn’t keep me full for very long.
Then there’s always my standby puffed amaranth cereal, which I do love. It comes with more protein (and a great amount of iron too!), but I’m looking for something new. Something with more of a cereal crunch, and hopefully a bit of protein in there too to help with fullness.
So I scoured around the internet and found some options.
Option 1: Homemade breakfast cereal features bran, whole wheat flour and cornmeal with a hint of cocoa powder.
Option 2: Cinnamon sugar socca crackers features chickpea flour (which I have on hand) and buckwheat flour
Option 3: Healthy charms cereal features raisins as one of the sweeteners (and I love raisins), sorghum flour (never used before) and flax seed
Option 4: Crunch maple quinoa cereal features quinoa!
Option 5: Cinnamon toast crunch features chickpea flour and millet flour
Now tell me, which one would you pick to make? I have 2 options that I’m leaning towards, but I want to hear what you think first.
Also, if you know of a great homemade cereal (not so much granola) recipe, please share!
I plan to make some cereal over the weekend when I have more kitchen time. Now I only wish it was Friday so my cereal making adventures could begin!
Have a great one. 🙂

I’m a big fan of cereal because it can be so easy! I would vote for the quinoa one, I’ve been wanting to make something like that as well.
use to live off cereal!! we have made a socca cereal, so easy and so good!
Glad to hear the socca cereal was a hit for you two. I know you love your socca 🙂
I love cereal! it’s so good! I normally grab a handful at work and have that to munch on till breakfast time! Your combo looks good!!
