Clean Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes!!!August 29, 2017
When I was younger, I wasn’t a chocolate-for-breakfast cereal kinda girl, but crunchy nut cornflakes were my jam! Born out of a sentimental craving, I decided to try my hand at perfecting a healthy, minimal ingredient version of them. Voila! Insanely delicious, super crunchy. Who would have thought that the gluten-free, refined-sugar-free and vegan version of a not-so-healthy classic would taste even better?!! Serving suggestion: plant-based milk + handful of berries 🙂
Ingredients

- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2-1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

- Line a large baking tray with baking paper and scatter the cereal across. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using.
