Fill in somThis variation uses a variety of nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews. These nuts provide a crunchy texture and are full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.
For those who avoid grains entirely, this variation uses seeds such as chia, flax, and hemp. These seeds provide similar texture and nutritional benefits as grains while being completely grain-free.
Incorporating dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, or dried apricots gives the cereal a sweet, chewy texture that contrasts beautifully with crunchy nuts or seeds.
Oats are naturally gluten-free, though they are often contaminated with gluten during processing. Be sure to choose certified gluten-free oats to ensure the cereal remains safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
