This amazing recipe is a sneak peek recipe from the “Paleo Eats Cookbook” that was written by my friend Kelly over at A Girl Worth Saving. If you want a cookbook that is filled with awesome Paleo comfort foods, then this is the book you are looking for!
She let me share this fantastic recipe because I begged her. My kids are seriously obsessed! I need to get the word out about her awesome paleo coconut cinnamon cereal. Grab a copy of her book HERE.
Paleo Coconut Cinnamon Cereal
You can still enjoy cereal in the morning or for a snack even if you're on the paleo diet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the coconut shreds and sunflower seeds in a food processor and grind for 30 seconds.
- Add the cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, egg, and coconut oil and pulse until combined, about 2 minutes.
- Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a second piece of parchment paper and with a rolling pin, roll to ¼-inch thick. Remove and discard the top piece of parchment paper.
- With a wet knife, score the dough into 1-inch squares.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for 15 minutes to allow it to crisp up.
- Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

this looks delish!! I was wondering how many servings this recipe makes. thanks! Kelly’s book looks VERY exciting!
I am not entirely sure on the serving size. We like BIG bowls of cereal so we use it up pretty quickly
Any thoughts on replacing sunflower seeds with a different nut or seed? I just don't have any on hand and was hoping to whip this up today.
Sure give it a try. I was actually thinking of trying some other nuts too. I want to try almonds or macadamia nuts. Although cashews would lend a sweet flavor. Mmmmm. Let me know what you come up with!
what could I sub the egg with?
Great question! I have used this as an egg sub in this recipe and it worked great! https://realfoodrn.com/how-to-make-an-egg-substitute-with-chia-seeds/
I am doing whole30 and cannot have the maple sugar. Could applesauce or something else be substituted, or left out completely?
You can just leave the sweetener out
