What cereals are best on a low carb diet?

Cereals that are low in carbohydrates and high in protein and fiber are ideal for a low carb diet. Some examples are:

• Almond flour or coconut flour-based cereals, try Ratio Keto brand!
• High fiber cereals like Kashi Cinnamon Vanilla Cereal
• Low-carb granolas made with nuts and seeds
• High protein cereal such as Catalina Crunch made with catalina flour (a mix of organic pea protein, non-GMO corn fiber, potato fiber and chicory root fiber).

It’s important to check the nutrition label and choose low carb cereals with low sugar content and high protein. Some cereals use whey protein isolate or a blend of plant proteins which is perfectly low carb.

Additionally, you can add this keto recipe to your top list of low carb cereal recipes on keto meal prep day. The natural sweeteners used in this recipe helps keep it low carb but also satisfy your sweet tooth.

This keto cereal recipe will last depending on when your fat source used expires (the egg or butter used in the recipe) or six days after opening your keto chow packet, whichever comes first.

Low carb cereal variations

If you want some variety in your cereals then try other flavor combos using this recipe as the base. For example, for a fun fall inspired breakfast, try making peanut butter cereal, use peanut butter Keto Chow and substitute the cocoa powder with a mix of peanut butter flour and almond flour.

For coffee lovers try making a batch of Caramel Macchiato Keto cereal with Caramel Macchiato Keto Chow and some instant coffee in the dry mix along with almond or coconut flour in replacement of cocoa powder.

What you will need for chocolate keto cereal recipe

This recipe is a low-carb, ketogenic chocolate breakfast. It include the following ingredients:

• Butter – I like to use organic butter with low sodium content so the taste doesn’t interfere with the recipe’s salt proportions.

• Lakanto monk fruit sweetener – This is my go-to brand for a keto friendly sugar-free sweetener made of monk fruit extract with no sugar alcohols. It’s not bitter like stevia extract either. Plus, the sweetener has a 1:1 regular sugar replacement ratio so it’s easy to substitute in recipes that require sugar. By the way, you can use my code: OLIVIAWYLES for 15% off your entire purchase at checkout.

• Egg – Using an egg in the recipe will help give the cereal an added boost of protein and help puff up the cereal in baking.

• Chocolate Keto Chow – I love Keto Chow’s chocolate flavor as its so decadent and made with natural flavors of cocoa powder. Plus its full of vitamins and minerals like all Keto Chow meal replacement powders.

• Baking powder – The baking powder helps in creating that light and airy texture in cereal. Which will give you that that delicious chocolatey crunch in each spoonful!

• Cocoa powder – I will be using the natural flavors of real cocoa powder like Navitas Organic to get that rich chocolate taste in the keto cereal.

How to make keto chocolate cereal

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate Keto Chow packet, baking powder, and cocoa powder.

In a large bowl, cream the butter on high for 1-2 minutes and then add the sugar-free sweetener, beat on high until dissolved, which takes about 3-5 minutes.

Add an egg and mix until slightly incorporated, resulting in a mixture that will not look very smooth. Take half of the dry mixture and add it to the bowl and mix on low, followed by the rest of the dry mixture. Mix everything until a dough forms.

Then place the dough on parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight. Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until thin and scored with a cooling rack.

Cut the dough with a ruler or pizza cutter and transfer it to a baking tray. Place it in the freezer for 15 minutes prior to baking. Bake the cereal for 10-15 minutes until it has puffed up, and let it cool thoroughly for a few hours to make it crunchy.

For an optional chocolate coating, its ingredients can be microwaved for 30-60 seconds until the sugar-free sweetener is dissolved, and then brushed onto the chocolate cereal right out of the oven. This keto cereal recipe makes 4 servings of a cup serving each.

Serve the keto cereal with your favorite dairy-free milk alternative, such as coconut milk or almond milk. I like this blend of unsweetened almond/coconut milk as its just creamy enough. If you don’t like milk, create a keto snack mix with this low carb cereal recipe.
