FlaxChia Cereal

 I recently read on "I breathe Im Hungry" about a Cinnamon Cereal that I just was jumping up and down to try. But the thing is- I could not find a single grocery store that sold hemp seeds. Bummer :( So I decided on a different seed-Chia Seed.  I also changed a whole lot of the recipe but here is the original and you should definitely check out her blog, she has some great recipes on there! 
Yields 4 1/4c. servings
 Begin with 1/2 c. Flax-meal, golden and add 1/2 c. chia seed (That's chia seed pictured above). For more nutrient information on chia seed look here. But basically the cool thing about this seed is that it gives has age defying antioxidants (who doesn't want that) and it helps keep you fuller, longer! YES! 
Add 1c. splenda (regular sugar, brown sugar, agave nectar whatever you want as a sweetener, maybe even honey). Finally add 2 tbs. dark ground cinnamon and 1 tbs. vanilla protein powder. Blend all these ingredients together in a blender. Next add 2 tbs. coconut oil (melted) and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. I won't lie to you, it's hard to blend this so I also added about 3/4 c.+2 tbs. hot water. Then it came together a lot better than I wanted. The mixture will resemble a little ball of dough. 

 Begin to spread the dough out until its super thin, onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, then drop it down to 300 and leave for 30 minutes. Before dropping it, pull out the sheet and cut it using a pizza roller.

Put it back into the oven exactly like this, don't separate the pieces. When the 30 minutes are up, pull it out and separate the pieces. Drop the pieces to 200 degrees F for 1 hour. They will be completely dried out at this point. Enjoy with milk of your choice! ~ENJOY!
