Easy Cinnamon Blueberry Cereal: A Quick & Healthy Breakfast

🥣 Healthy, Delicious Cereal Without the Junk! 🍓

This Cinnamon Blueberry Cereal is not only super easy to make, but it’s also free from all the junk ingredients found in most store-bought options. You’ll feel great serving it to your kids, even for supper! It’s the perfect pantry staple that’s both tasty and nutritious.

We love topping it with fresh fruit for an extra burst of flavor. This simple, wholesome cereal is a hit with the whole family—no guilt involved!

I like to store homemade cereal is large mason jars or reuse other large jars we have around. These mason jar lids are perfect for storage!

The best part about this recipe is how easily you can adapt it. The khorasan wheat is mixed with heart healthy avocado oil and natural sweetness, lightly toasted in the oven, giving it a crunchy, almost nutty texture, and then mixed with freeze-dried blueberries for a sweet, fruity burst. The blueberries not only add vibrant color, but they’re also packed with antioxidants that are great for your skin and overall well-being.

If you’re looking to modify this recipe you could also add a handful of nuts or seeds like almonds or chia seeds to boost the protein content, add in raisins, or try a different freeze dried fruit!

This cinnamon blueberry cereal is also incredibly versatile. You can enjoy it straight out of the bowl, top it with fresh fruit, or even mix it into yogurt for an extra boost of protein. And since khorasan wheat is so filling, you won’t be left hungry an hour later.

Make a big batch, store it in an airtight container, and you’ll have a healthy, satisfying cereal ready whenever you need it.

What is khorasan wheat?!

This cinnamon blueberry cereal is a delicious twist on your usual breakfast routine, using khorasan wheat as the hearty base. Known for its nutty flavor and chewy texture, khorasan wheat is an ancient grain packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. It’s a perfect alternative to oats and gives this cereal a satisfying, wholesome feel that’ll keep you full all morning.

Khorasan wheat is an ancient, nutrient-dense variety of wheat with larger, golden kernels and a rich, nutty flavor. It is higher in protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and zinc) than conventional wheat varieties and was grown in ancient civilizations, including Egypt.

Fun fact-King Tut’s tomb contained  Khorasan wheat seeds, possibly meant for his journey into the afterlife.

Khorasan wheat is not only a great source of fiber, but it’s also rich in minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. These nutrients help support a strong immune system and promote overall health. By using khorasan wheat, you’re getting a more nutrient-dense cereal without sacrificing flavor. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a healthier, more filling breakfast option.

Why we love honey!

Every fall we get gallons and gallons of honey from our local family owned bee farm.

Local honey may offer some relief from seasonal allergies because of the trace amounts of local pollen and its natural anti-inflammatory properties. Honey is a more natural and less processed sweetener compared to refined sugars, offering trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has a lower glycemic index, meaning it causes slower blood sugar spikes, which is better for sustained energy and preventing crashes. Honey also contains natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for immune health. Certain types of raw honey contain prebiotics that support digestive health.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300’F
  • Combine honey, maple syrup, oil, salt, cinnamon and vanilla in mixing bowl.
  • Add in the wheat puffs and stir to combine.
  • Spread on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Easy clean up!!) I get precut parchment sheets to make it an even faster process.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from oven when it is golden brown. I like to sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top after it comes out of the oven!
  • Allow to cool completely and then stir in the freeze dried blueberries and flakes. Serve immediately or store for later use! I like to store in mason jars or reuse other large jars we have around. These mason jar lids are perfect for storage!
