BREAKFAST: LOW CARB GRANOLA CEREAL (click here to print)

LOW CARB CEREAL

8 ounces of unsweetened coconut flakes
4 ounces chopped almonds
4 ounces sunflower seeds
2 ounces chopped walnuts
2 ounces almond flour
4 egg whites
3 tbs. Honey Tree sugar free honey (found at walmart)
cinnamon to taste

Measure first 5 ingredients and pour into a bowl. Mix together with your hands. Add the sugar free honey and the 4 egg whites (unbeaten). Stir everything together with your hands. Add a little water (about 1/4 cup) to the mixture and stir again with your hands. You want the mixture to stay crumbly, so don't add too much water or it will stick together.

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Dump the whole mixture on top of the paper. With a large spoon or your hand...spread the mixture out so it is only one layer thick. Don't leave any clumps. You oven should be at 300 degrees. Put the cookie sheet on the top rack of your oven. Check every 10 minutes and stir the mixture so it stays loose and doesn't form clumps. Bake up to 30 minutes...stirring often. Remove and let cool. Sprinkle on a good cinnamon (like Penzeys) mix the cinnamon in with your hands and taste...adding more if you want. Pour into a nice jar and store in the refrigerator.
