I can't even remember the last time I had cereal. Probably 4 years ago? Wow it's been a long time. And to think that I used to eat cereal with soy milk on a daily basis for breakfast. But this cereal recipe is nothing like a cereal you will find in a grocery store that's for sure. It has healthy ingredients like raw sunflower seeds, cinnamon and coconut flakes. I added a little coconut milk to mine and it was delicious! And both my parents (who are not paleo) agreed. That is a win if you ask me.
As always I would be thrilled if you visited me on my social media pages: Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook.

I made this years ago and loved it. Came back to make it again and noticed the amount of coconut is no longer listed (not 100% sure it ever was). Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hey Kendra! Thanks so much for noticing. I just fixed it. It's 1 cup of the coconut. A few recipes got messed up when I transferred my website to a new server a couple years ago. So sorry about that!
