Today we’re talking breakfast… again 😉

And I’m not just sharing one recipe… I’ve got 3!

Remember when I wrote about making cereal and some recipes I wanted to try last week? Well I did in fact make some! Two flavors of chickpea and millet based cereal. Cocoa and cinnamon sugar.

Some notes on cereal making:

Use a large pan so you can get your batter nice n thin. I used 2 different sizes and my cocoa ones came out a bit thicker and less crunchy.

I’ve actually just enjoyed munching on it as a cracker more than cereal. They’re both might tasty.

    The cinnamon roll oats look wonderful! I haven’t had oatmeal all week. I think I’ll make some for the morning!! The cereal looks great to. I love eating cereal by the handful, rather then in milk.

    Cinnamon Roll oats?!? My boyfriend LOVES cinnamon rolls, yet I don’t ever buy them at the grocery store so he always feels deprived. This would be the perfect compromise!!! 🙂 Can’t wait to try them out for him! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
