Delicious, crunchy and extremely easy to make - these are a healthier alternative than the boxed cereal and can be made at any time. This is a soy-free dish with lots of oat milk, seeds, raw sugar, cinnamon and low fat oils that the whole family will most definitely love. Just add a squeeze of agave nectar (if you want it really sweet), some more flax seeds, your favorite fruit and you're ready to enjoy a nice homemade breakfast. This meal also has a raw vegan and gluten-free alternative.

- 3/4 cup of White Whole Wheat
- 1/4 or 1/2 cup of Raw Sugar

(Regular CTC Cereal Directions)
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together with a spoon first,then mix in the wet ingredients.
- Knead about 40 times. Let the dough rest for about ten minutes.

- Fix your bowl of cereal and Enjoy!

I hope that you like these two different recipes!
Yum, this sounds awesome! I used to love Cinnamon Toast Crunch when I was a kid, but pretty much haven't had the stuff since. Probably due to the whole loaded with sugar/complete lack of nutrition thing. This recipe sounds like it would taste a lot like the original without all the crappy ingredients. Thanks for posting this! I'll definitely be trying it soon :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Teeny! ^^ I'm thinking about making a whole line of "kid cereals" now. I can't wait to see your results!
ReplyDeleteDo CAP'N Crunch....Crunchatize me....Aiko!
ReplyDelete^ You're very funny, hehe. I actually am working on a recipe for peanut butter "captain" crunch right now. ^^
ReplyDeleteDo you live in Japan? If so, where do you get Chia seeds and raw sugar? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm not living in Japan - but you should be able to find these in either the health stores or "Americanized" stores. If not you can try to sub sesame seeds and brown sugar, but add a bit more fat to make up for moisture.
DeleteHow much cold water is added to the chia seeds? Do they need to soak for a while?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is the cinnamon/sugar that goes on top included in ingredients list or seperate?
Thanks, these sound so good! Can't wait to try :)
Hi Anonymous - I would say about 1/4 a cup of cold water should do the trick. I would just let them soak in there until they've fully absorbed everything.
DeleteAs for the cinnamon-sugar, I put that on top but you can put it throughout if you wish.
