I love this breakfast keto cereal! It takes just a few minutes to prepare and you've got breakfast sorted for days to come. It's perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

It's so versatile and you can use any nuts or seeds. I like using flaked coconut and almonds because they get really crispy and taste like proper breakfast cereal — you won't even know it's low-carb! Apart from cacao powder, you can add cinnamon, vanilla or almond extract. You can add sweetener but it tastes great even without it.

I like to serve mine with unsweetened almond milk or hazelnut milk but it goes well with other options such as yogurt, cream or coconut milk. You can even use it as topping on your favourite low carb ice-cream or these breakfast parfaits.

It's very low in carbs and simply delicious — I hope you like it as much as I do!

You can serve this keto cereal with:

  • coconut milk such as Aroy-D or heavy whipping cream (I thin it down with some water, using 1/4 cup each cream and water)
  • any unsweetened nut or seed milk (make your own by following this simple guide)
  • full-fat plain yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • fresh or frozen berries or low-carb berry jam
  • cacao nibs or 100% dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips for sweetener-free cereal

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Is there a way to substitute the flaked nuts without more coconut flakes? I do have a nut allergy but I don't  want to use up my coconut flakes as I need to save them for other recipes

You could try other nut-free options such as sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds?

The 5 ingredient Keto Chocolate cereal was amazing!  

Glad you enjoyed!

What could the coconut flakes be substituted with as I’m really not a big fan!

You could use more flaked or slivered almonds or any nuts or seeds instead.

Thank you😀🧡

I Really enjoyed this one and I will make it again! thanks

Thank you Kathleen!

Very yummy with coconut milk and great to have a yummy choice to eggs..

Thank you Tonia!

This was fabulous! One of my favorites so far!!!!

Thank you Lisa!

Quite often almond milk is listed as an acceptable milk, however I never see mention of cashew milk.  It cashew milk ok?  From what I have seen, cashew milk is lower in carbs than almond milk.  Thanks

Absolutely! Any nut or seed milk are compatible with the keto diet as long as they are unsweetened. You can make your own (Complete Guide to Homemade Nut and Seed Milk) or buy ready-made. The carb count is about the same - I would find it odd if it was lower than almond milk but it depends how much water is used to make it.

Can you make this with dessicated coconut? Thanks

Yes you can if you donn't mind that the texture will be fine 😊

I literally just made it 🤣 WOW so simple and so yummy! Thank you so much this is a keeper!

That was quick! I'm glad you like it! 😊
