Grain-Free Raisin Bran Cereal

by

Grain-free Raisin Bran Cereal | Plaid and PaleoI have been craving cereal lately. Maybe it is because I haven’t eaten cereal in years and want a quick breakfast. Or maybe I just miss the crunch. Either way I had a strong craving for Trix the other day. Like weirdly strong. I could recall the flavor of a cereal I haven’t eaten in probably a decade. I hopped onto Google and you would never believe there is a recipe for Paleo Trix! You need to check out Brittany Angell for all sorts of amazing baking creations! Since Trix were already covered, I decided to recreate a cereal I also used to weirdly love as a kid- Raisin Bran Cereal. Yup the wheaty-cardboard cereal with raisins not chocolate was a childhood favorite of mind. The more raisins the better was my preference. I was the kid who loved when all the other kids passed over the oatmeal raisin cookies. More for me. I guess I just really liked raisins as a kid. I still do but in moderation. Even the unsweetened kind are pretty sweet to me now. I even recreated my love of oatmeal raisin cookies in my N’Oatmeal Raisin Shake!

I asked over on my Facebook page what type of recipes you want to see more of, and I got an overwhelming response for more crockpot meals! I love my crockpot, and I am more than happy to come up with more easy and delicious crockpot recipes. If there is anything you want to see more of, please leave me a comment and let me know!

  5. Hi,
    Wanted to say that Raisin Bran is also my favorite, that and Fruity Pebbles, I love the lemon flavor in that cereal!!
    But, since I can’t eat gluten or wheat anymore (I sort of don’t feel the need to get tested, ’cause even if I am only allergic to wheat, it still doesn’t make it easy, since everything store brought is still laden in breadcrumbs made with wheat, and even Rye and Barley breads have wheat flour in them. Even Oat bread has wheat), I’ve been craving for this cereal, but I still can’t make it because Almonds are expensive, and Raw almond are even more expensive, you’d think that because they go through one less process that they’d be cheaper, but no!

    I would also soak my almonds overnight 😉 or sprout them 😉 I’d buy them raw, but I live with my parents and it’s my dad’s money, which my mom has a had enough time trying to make ends-meet, but it’s not me who throws most of the crap in the cart 😉
    Love your blog!! I love that you have paleo meals for one, as I am the only one who’s not eating wheat. And now, I have to avoid nightshades, mostly peppers and I’m think Tomatoes, I can’t even smell cooked peppers without getting instant flash of indigestion, yuck!
    Maybe I’d try peppers if they were organic, but I’m thinking all nightshades should’ve been banished, but that’s just me! 😀
