Healthy Homemade Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup superfine almond flour
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 3/4 cup pure cane sugar plus more for sprinkling
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Adjust your oven rack to the middle position. Place a Silpat or piece of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond and oat flours, cane sugar, and salt. Mix to combine. Add the melted coconut oil and the egg white. Use your hands to mix everything together into a cohesive dough. It will look and feel like wet sand. Transfer to the parchment paper or Silpat on your baking sheet.
- Top with another piece of parchment paper (this isn’t completely necessary, but it makes rolling easier). Using a rolling pin or a heavy-bottomed glass, press and roll the dough out until it is very, very thin. We’re going for 1/16th inch, if possible. The thinness is what gets you the crunch. Otherwise, you’ll just get soft squares. Still delicious, but not quite right.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into small, equal, bite-sized squares. Go back over all of your cuts a second time (this helps really score the dough, making for easier cutting once it’s baked).
- Bake for 4.5 to 5 minutes, or just until things start looking golden brown. Keep an eye on them. Shower with cinnamon-sugar (see note) when they’re out of the oven, pressing it into the soft cereal very gently. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Once they’ve cooled for a few minutes, go back over the cuts you made before and fully separate the squares from one another. This is the fastest, easiest way to do this. Add a little more cinnamon-sugar and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
NOTE: to make cinnamon-sugar, I combine about 1/3 cup of cane sugar with a healthy sprinkle of cinnamon (maybe 1 teaspoon) in a small bowl – to taste. Stir together and shower with abandon.Â
