Cinnamon Squares have been by far one of our favourite cereals, so we decided to make our healthier and Kid-Friendly version. These cereals have nothing to envy the typical cinnamon squares we find at supermarkets. Also, they are much healthier: Naturally Sweetened and with wholefood ingredients (oats and nuts). These cereals are high in Omega-3 fatty acids (almost 6 g in the recipe) thanks to the ground flax seeds and walnuts. They are crunchy and perfect to have with fresh plant based milk and fresh fruit like mango and strawberries for breakfast.They are SIMPLE to make, here you have the step by step:

Step 1: Mix ingredients and make the dough.Step 2: Make a rectangle with a rolling pin and baking paper: thickness of approximately 0.5 mm Step 3: With a pizza cutter make squares (2 cm wide by 2 cm high) and separate them before baking Step 4: Bake them at 180ºC until golden and crispy. Then spread cinnamon mixture to them Want to save this Recipe for later?
