grain free raisin "bran" cereal
this copy-cat raisin bran cereal does not actually contain any bran, nor grains, nor gluten-- yet it's just as addictive as the real thing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup unsweetened, finely shredded coconut
- 1 cup sliced, blanched almonds
- 1 apple, peeled and grated, and drained of excess moisture
- 2 tbsp nut butter
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2-3/4 cup raisins (per personal preference)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 330.
- If you haven’t already, peel and grate your apple, and then drain of it excess moisture– you can use a cheese cloth to do this or simply use your hands to wring out the shredded apple.
- Mix all the coconut (both types) and almonds together, and then add in the spices, peanut butter, whisked egg and grated apple. Combine well.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and flatten with a spatula, spreading it to the outer edges of the baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven at 330 for 25 minutes, and then remove from oven and flip, baking for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven once golden brown and allow to cool.
- Once cool, break up the granola-cereal into as many pieces as you want and mix in raisins– you can store in a large mason jar and shake it up in the jar to get it even more crumbly. store in fridge for the week, or it will freeze for a few months. Serve with yogurt or with a fresh homemade nut milk!
