I think loads of us have been searching a perfect Keto Cereal. My fellow Aussies would have heard of the Crunchy Nut Corn Flake and this is absolutely a “healthified” version.
Using a toasted lupin flakes from Lupins For Life made it possible to create a “real” keto cereal without actually being a keto granola.
Read on for my tips for a perfect cereal as well as an amazing keto granola bar.
Keto Cereal Ingredients
Unfortunately, this is not a supermarket recipe. You know just as much as I do that supermarkets are slow to catch up with keto pantry ingredients. But you are lucky enough to have a list if stockists of the ingredients or order online with low to zero shipping rates.
- Lupins For Life Toasted Protein Flakes are available through the link in the recipe. As this is a unique product in this case there are no substitutes. However, they do have a large range of very low carb products with free shipping in Australia to all orders over $45.
- Gold Fibre Syrup – It has the consistency of a golden syrup.
How to make the Best Keto Cereal
This is a bit of a mix and bake recipe. It isn’t hard. If there is an ingredient you want to swap, go for it. However, the flakes kind of make this recipe so don’t swap them out.
I have included a simple mix and bake recipe as well as a Thermomix keto cereal recipe.

I use gloves to mix the ingredients altogether and place onto a lined baking tray. The mixture will be a little clumpy but it will stick together even more when baking.
Turn the cereal over half way through the baking time.
The mix will crisp up when cooling.

- Sukrin Gold Syrup is a non-imo and no gmo sweet syrup. It has the consistency of a golden syrup. Any Sukrin syrup can be substituted.
- I use an MCT oil in this recipe but any coconut oil or coconut butter can be used in its place.
- Add any extra spices or citrus zest for additional flavours.
- Store the cereal in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks.
- The temperatures are for a fan forced oven. Cook until crispy turning half way. The cereal will continue to crisp once removed from the oven.
- You can easily press the mixture into any silicone bar or cupcake mould and bake for the same time. I made part of the mix into an 8 bar mould and coated the bar with a drizzle of white keto chocolate.
