Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, protein powder, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a firm dough forms. (Whey protein may need 5 tbsp; a whey/casein blend may need 6 tbsp.)
- Refrigerate the dough for 30-60 minutes to make it easier to roll.
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the dough into two portions and place each between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Sprinkle extra flour on top and roll the dough as thin as possible. Thinner dough leads to crunchier cereal.
- Lightly spray the rolled dough with cooking spray, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping. Press gently to help it stick.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into small cereal-sized squares. There's no need to separate them before baking.
- Place the parchment paper with the sliced dough on a baking sheet and bake for 16-18 minutes (16 minutes for whey protein, 18 minutes for a blend).
- Let the cereal cool for 30 minutes—it will harden as it cools. If it’s not crunchy enough, allow it to sit for another hour.
- Once completely cooled, break apart the squares and store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Serve with milk, yogurt, or as a crunchy snack!
Notes
This homemade protein cereal is incredibly versatile; serve it with your favorite milk, yogurt, or enjoy it as a standalone crunchy snack. Adjust sweetness and spice to your preference.
