Keto Chocolate Cereal
This quick and easy Keto chocolate cereal is simple to prepare but full of flavor. Our grain-free cereal is packed with crunch from nuts and coconut chips, a little dried fruit and a hint of dark chocolate. This is a great low carb breakfast option for weekdays when you do not wish to cook! Perfect served with your morning Keto butter coffee.
Is Cereal Keto?
Store-bought breakfast cereals are generally not Keto friendly as they are often high in carbs and refined sugars. Our Keto chocolate cereal however is prepared with a base of nuts and coconut to keep the carbs low and contains no additional sweeteners. The nuts are tossed with toasted coconut flakes, then topped with unsweetened dark chocolate chips. Hot coconut oil is poured over the chocolate chips, melting them a little to create a chocolate coating for the cereal. This is then cooled and combined with unsweetened dried cranberries and drenched in ice-cold almond milk to serve.
Hints and Tips
We have not added any additional sweetener to our chocolate cereal, however you may add a little low carb sweetener or top with fresh fruit if desired. The recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate chips, however you may use any chopped Keto compliant dark chocolate. The key to finding low carb chocolate is to ensure it has a high percentage of cocoa - minimum of 70%. You may also experiment with alternative low carb nuts and seeds if desired, just be sure to adjust your macros to factor in any changes made.

Step 1
Roughly chop the walnuts. Add the chopped walnuts to a mixing bowl along with the flaked almonds and coconut flakes/chips. Stir together well to combine. Sprinkle the unsweetened chocolate chips into the bowl over the mixed nuts and coconut.Step 2
Melt the coconut oil over a stove or in a microwave. Pour the melted coconut oil over the cereal, coating the chocolate chips. Stir everything together well to combine. The chocolate chips will begin to melt in the oil, coating the nuts and coconut. It doesn’t matter if the chips do not melt entirely. Set the mixture to one side to cool completely. You may also transfer to the fridge to set.Step 3
Once cooled, break up any larger chunks of the cereal into smaller bite-sized pieces. Add the dried cranberries and stir through the cereal. Divide the chocolate cereal evenly between two serving bowls. Divide the cold almond milk between the two bowls of cereal. Serve immediately.

Coconut oil is listed in the instructions but not listed in the ingredients. The Marco nutrients are probably wrong because of this
