5 Ingredient Keto Chocolate Cereal

I love simple low-carb recipe like this breakfast keto cereal! It takes just a few minutes to prepare and you've got breakfast sorted for two weeks. Keto diet planning can't get easier than that.

It's so versatile and you can use any nuts or seeds. I like using flaked coconut and almonds because they get really crispy and taste like proper breakfast cereal — you won't even know it's low-carb! Apart from cacao powder, you can add cinnamon, vanilla or almond extract. You can add sweetener but it tastes great even without it.

I like to serve mine with unsweetened almond milk or hazelnut milk but it goes well with other options such as yogurt, cream or coconut milk. You can even use it as topping on your favourite low carb ice-cream or these breakfast parfaits.

It's very low in carbs and simply delicious — I hope you like it as much as I do!

Ingredients (makes 10 servings) Serve with:
  • coconut milk such as Aroy-D or heavy whipping cream (I thin it down with some water, using 1/4 cup each cream and water)
  • any unsweetened nut or seed milk (make your own by following this simple guide)
  • full-fat plain yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • fresh or frozen berries or low-carb berry jam
  • cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips for 100% sweetener-free cereal
Instructions
  1. Preheat the over to 150 °C/ 300 °F (fan assisted). Place the coconut flakes, almonds flakes, cacao powder and salt in a bowl. If you can't eat nuts, use more coconut flakes. Optionally, add sweetener and salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Add melted coconut oil and combine.
  3. Place in a large baking tray and spread evenly. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, mixing the coconut and turning the tray half way through.
  4. Remove from the oven and let it cool down. Add dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
  5. Serve with coconut milk, almond milk or full-fat yogurt.
  6. Store at room temperature in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
