This Low Calorie Cereal Recipe is easy and delicious! It’s just 96 calories, and best of all you mix and bake the ingredients in the same baking dish. So virtually no clean up! I like to serve this healthy cereal over extra creamy oat milk or greek yogurt. But it’s great with milk, alone, and even amazing over low calorie ice cream!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons zero-calorie all natural brown sugar (see recipe card)
2 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons flax seeds
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
