Cinnamon-Spice Crunch Cereal
Serves 9 (Makes about 9, 1/2 cup servings)
Ingredients
1/2 lb. unsweetened coconut flakes or coconut chips
1/2 cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans
1/3 cup water
1/2 tbsp. pure vanilla extract (I used homemade)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon (or more if desired)
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg (fresh is best)
1/2 tsp. ground ginger (optional)
1/8 tsp. Organic KAL Stevia or 1/4 tsp. Organic Trader Joe's Stevia or sweetener of choice, to taste*
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add water along with sweeteners and spices. Whisk until sweetener is dissolved. Add coconut flakes and stir well until flakes are evenly coated. Taste for sweetness. Add more sweetener or spices if desired.
Divide flakes between 2 cookie sheets and spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and stir. Return to oven to cook for another 5 minutes or until the flakes are golden brown but NOT BURNED! (Be careful because the flakes around the edge will brown quicker.)
NOTE: Flakes will cook faster if using darker cookie sheets.
Store cooled cereal in an airtight container.
