    Keto Nut Cereal

    a bowl of Keto Honey Bunches of Oats

     
     
     
    We had a saying in our house, growing up.

    When we were scrounging around, looking for something to eat, my parents would say, "Well, there's always cereal."  I've been thinking about that phrase now that I am on a low carb diet.  Because, sadly, there isn't always cereal.

    On a low carb diet, there is almost never cereal!  It's just not right.

    So this morning, I decided to make my own.

    I came up with a low carb version of one of my favorite cereals, Honey Bunches of Oats.  You've probably seen the commercials (video above).  They are "the best of the bunch".

    Since grains are off limits on a low carb diet, I decided to recreate the cereal using sliced almonds, pecans, flaked coconut and flaxseed meal.

    It's sweetened with one of my favorite low carb sweeteners: sugar-free pancake syrup.  It gives the cereal a sweet maple flavor.  But you can sub in equivalent syrups like Yacon or Sukrin if you'd like.  The main idea is to make a convincing sweetened oat substitute.  A "noat", as they say.  So maybe I should call them Honey Bunches of Noats?

    Either way, they're the best of the low carb bunch.

    I'm Emily, the diabetic behind Resolution Eats. Many years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to switch to a low carb diet. It improved both my health and my outlook on life. Since then, I've come up with hundreds of Keto recipes for everything from soup to nuts. And this blog is a way for me to share the low carb love. Cheers!
