Easy AIP “Raisin Bran” Breakfast Cereal Recipe
This easy AIP “Raisin Bran” breakfast cereal recipe has only 3 simple ingredients. The result is a crunchy, spiced aip breakfast cereal with bursts of sweet raisins.
Ingredients
- 2 cups thick coconut flakes
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup raisins
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 325°.
-
Spread out the coconut flakes on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the flakes evenly.
-
Once the oven has reached baking temperature, place the coconut into the oven and bake for 5 minutes, if they are not golden brown yet, then mix the coconut around and let bake while checking every 3 minutes until finished. Keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly. Once they are lightly toasted and have gotten to a golden brown color, remove from the oven.
-
Let cool. Then transfer the coconut to a sealed jar, container or bag. Add the raisins and the “raisin bran” is finished! Enjoy some paleo “raisin bran” in a bowl with some dairy-free milk poured over it for part of your breakfast or a snack.
Recipe Notes
- Large coconut flakes are a crucial ingredient for this recipe. It won't work with regular thinly shredded coconut, so make sure you get the flakes.
- When you are roasting the flakes in the oven, be sure to keep a close eye on them. Check them every 5 minutes or so because they can burn quickly. Mix them halfway through to get an even bake on them. You want to make sure they are that perfect golden brown color.
- It will keep for about 1-2 weeks in the pantry in a tupperware container.
- Enjoy this cereal with almond milk, coconut milk or whatever kind of milk you prefer. It's also great on top of yogurt or homemade ice cream!
- I wouldn't recommend having only this cereal for breakfast, because to avoid having those nasty blood sugar spikes and plummets, sugar cravings and increased hunger, you need to have a complete breakfast with protein. There's not much protein in this cereal, so have it for breakfast, but have some pastured eggs, grass fed sausage or pasture raised bacon with it!
