Cookie cereal is a popular food trend that involves turning cookies into mini, bite-sized cereal-like pieces. Instead of eating cookies individually, they are transformed into small, cereal-like shapes and enjoyed in a bowl with milk or as a topping for other desserts.

Cookie cereal offers a fun and creative twist on traditional cookies and breakfast cereals. It has gained popularity on social media platforms and has become a trendy and visually appealing treat for both kids and adults.

Low-carb Crunchy Chocolate Cookie Cereal offers several potential benefits for those following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet. Here are some benefits:

      Crunchy Chocolate Cookie Cereal

      Prep Time: 10 minutes
      Cook Time: 5 minutes
      Yield: 4 servings
      Category: Breakfast, Snack
      Cuisine: American

      Ingredients:

      • 1 cup (120 g) almond flour
      • 1/2 cup (56 g) coconut flour
      • 1/4 cup (48 g) granulated erythritol
      • 1 Tablespoon (6 g) cacao powder
      • 6 Tablespoons (90 ml) coconut oil, melted and cooled
      • 1 egg white, whisked

                                            Instructions:

                                            1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Line the air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper.
                                            2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, and cacao powder.
                                            3. Add the coconut oil and whisked egg white to the dry ingredients and mix until completely combined. With clean hands, form the mixture into small cereal-size balls.
                                            4. Place the cereal in a single layer, without touching, in the air fryer basket or tray. (If needed, cook the cereal in several batches.)
                                            5. Cook the cereal for 5 minutes, gently shaking the air fryer basket or tray halfway through the cooking time, until cooked through. (The cereal is soft but will crisp as it cools.)
                                            6. Carefully remove the cereal from the air fryer and let cool completely before serving with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, if desired.
