I had the opportunity to receive an advanced copy of Paleo Eats cookbook. Whenever I get a book or cookbook to review I’m excited. It’s seriously a jump up and down when the delivery guy shows up kind of thing. I was extra excited for Kelly’s book. I have followed Kelly for years on her blog A Girl Worth Saving. Her recipes are wonderful and for the most part, accessible and easy too. Plus, Kelly is one of the sweetest people around! We are in a mastermind group together and she full of ideas, drive and a whole lot of love. And thoughtfulness, creativity and LOVE is what’s in this cookbook. It’s a great one to have in your healthy cookbook corner in your kitchen.
I have a delicious recipe for you. It’s for cereal. Yep, grain-free cinnamon cereal. I love cereal. It’s one of my favorite foods and I don’t get to eat it anymore because I don’t eat grains. But to have a healthy cereal option that’s grain free? Um, yes please!
Without anymore explanation, Paleo Eats presents Coconut Cinnamon Cereal. Enjoy!!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place the coconut shreds and sunflower seeds in a food processor and grind for 30 seconds
- Add the cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, egg, and coconut oil and pulse until combined, about 2 minutes
- Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a second piece of parchment paper and with a rolling pin, roll to ¼-inch thick. Remove and discard the top piece of parchment paper
- With a wet knife, score the dough into 1-inch squares
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until firm to the touch
- Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for 15 minutes to allow it to crisp up
- Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week

Thank you for the cereal recipe. I won’t give cereal to my grandkids any more when they spend the night with me because of all the unhealthy ingredients in the bought varieties. But they still want cold cereal so maybe this will satisfy them.

You are so welcome. This is a recipe from A Girl Worth Saving (so the credit should go to Kelly). Her cookbook is awesome for kids recipe. Also, Predominantly Paleo just came out with a Paleo Kids Cookbook, now that has fun and delicious recipes! I think your grandkids would enjoy that!
