Every year when Autumn rolls around there are inevitably TONS of seasonal products that hit the market and of course, being the sucker that I am for anything Fall, I always want to buy them all!
Unfortunately, they’re often a lot of them are lacking the nutritional value I would hope for.
I passed an apple cinnamon cereal that sounded incredible, but was disappointed by what I found on the side of the box. And that’s when it dawned on me – I can make my own!
After reading through the ingredients, I figured I could create something similar but ensure that it did a better job of meeting what I usually look for in a cereal.
I combined whole grain flakes, with cinnamon clusters, dried apples and almonds giving me autumn in a bowl AND a good mix of protein, carbohydrate and healthy fat!

It doesn’t get much better than that if you ask me.
Ingredients
- 4 cups favorite whole grain flakes (I love Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes)
- 2 cups cinnamon clusters (you can use a cinnamon granola or a cereal like Kashi GoLean Cinnamon Crisp)
- 1 cup no-sugar added dried apples (see note below)
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Combine all together in a large mixing bowl and serve with your favorite milk! Store in an airtight bag or container.
Notes
Note: I like different textures in my cereal so I don’t mind the chewiness of the dried apples. If it bothers you, I would suggest using baked or free dried apples instead of dried.
