How to Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Mix the Ingredients
Add the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, unsweetened apple sauce, and almond milk to the bowl.
Mix well to combine until a dough ball is formed, using your hands if necessary.
Roll Out the Dough
Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet, then add your dough ball. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll the dough as thinly as possible. Aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
Cut Cinnamon Toast Crunch Dough
Cut the dough into square shapes using a knife to resemble cinnamon toast crunch shapes.
Prepare for Baking
Lightly spray the squares with olive oil spray. Then, sprinkle brown sugar and a bit more cinnamon over the top for extra flavor.
Bake to Perfection
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until the dough is crispy.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the cereal to cool completely. Add to a bowl with milk, and enjoy.
