Healthy Cinnamon Toast Crunch Crackers

Growing up, my parents were actually pretty good about buying low sugar cereal (before I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which ruined all my fun ha) but on occasion my Mom would surprise my sister and I with our favorite cereals as a treat.  Cinnamon toast crunch and Lucky Charms were the front runners.

I decided to experiment a little with this recipe and make a cinnamon toast crunch version.  You will not be disappointed in these, I pinky promise.

What you will need:

• 3 cups of blanched almond flour
• 1/3 cup of organic coconut sugar
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 tbs of cinnamon + extra to sprinkle on top
• dash of salt
• 1/4 cup of melted ghee

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper
3. In a medium sized bowl combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.  Mix together. 
4. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg and melted ghee. 
5. Combine all of the ingredients and mix until dough starts to form.   Roll the dough into a ball.
6. Lightly spray two more sheets of parchment paper with olive oil cooking spray.  Place the dough in between the two sheets.  Using a roller pin and roll the dough out until it is about 1/8 inch thick (the thinner the better).
7. You can either slice the dough up evenly with a pizza cutter (to make square crackers) or you can use a classy double shot glass like we do. 
8. Gently remove the sliced crackers and place on the parchment lined baking sheets.  
9. Mash together the leftover dough, roll into a ball and complete the above steps again until you have used up all of the dough. 
10. Sprinkle the crackers with cinnamon.
11. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crackers are nice and golden. 

Tips:

• The thinner you roll out the dough the better. 
• If some crackers look more done than others before baking time is completed, remove those and then continue baking the others.  
• Allow crackers to cool before enjoying.  
• Make sure you keep these in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy.  

These easy to make, crunchy, crispy, extra cinnamon-y and good for you crackers are a giant hit with my boys ( husband included) and have quickly become a regular snack around here.  You can eat these plain or cut them into smaller squares and pour a little almond milk over them and happily enjoy a healthier bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.
