Grain-Free Hemp Heart Cereal

Hands-On Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Makes: 2 Cups

Ingredients:

• 1 C hempseed
• 1 C shredded coconut
• 1 t vanilla powder, optional
• 4 T raw honey or coconut syrup
• ½ t apple cider vinegar
• 1/8 t sea salt

Hemp Heart Breakfast Bowl:

• ¾ C organic yogurt, kefir, or non-dairy yogurt
• 1/3 C hemp heart cereal
• ½ C fresh blueberries

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 250F. Add hemp and coconut to a bowl. Drizzle in sweetener and stir well. Sprinkle in the sea salt and vanilla powder while mixing.
2. Grease a baking pan or line with parchment paper. Evenly spread the hemp mixture onto the pan without pressing or clumping. Transfer to oven and bake for 35 – 40 minutes.
3. Remove from oven and cool. The seed clusters will harden or ‘set’ after they are no longer warm, approximately 30 – 40 minutes after baking. If handled before setting the mixture will crumble.
4. Break into pieces. Transfer to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate to store.
5. Serve with yogurt and fresh berries.
