chicky pea cornies for Misty and Buddy EE (oh and Missy B)
- 4T + 2t chickpea flour
- 2t organic brown or white sugar (This is optional, or you can sub in honey, agave, maple… Chickpea flour has a slight bitterness, but I made some with no sweetener and loved them).
- Good pinch of sea salt
- 1/2t cinnamon (optional)
- 2t oil (grapeseed, melted coconut, olive, butter, whatever)
- 6T water
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Combine all ingredients and mix really well. Chickpea flour tends to form clumps so a small whisk is handy. I can’t find mine. Misty?
Pour mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper
It’s a pretty runny mix, so just let it flow around until it relatively evenly covers the space at around 1-2mm thick. The handy thing is, you don’t need to be too particular about it, as your going to break the whole lot up anyhow.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C.
At this point, take the tray out of the oven, and peel the mix from the baking paper. It won’t come off all in one piece, and it will stick. Again, don’t stress. You’re just making the job easier at the end, trust.
Turn the oven down to 120 degrees C. Put all the pieces (and crumbs) back onto the baking tray (make sure you have flipped the pieces so the underside can crisp up). Bake for another 15 minutes. Turn off the oven, leaving the tray inside until it has cooled down (to dry out the pieces further).
Break into pieces. Makes just under 1Cup of crunchy flakes.
Enjoy just as you would any other cereal… a sprinkling of dried fruit or nuts perhaps? I did a few batches- some with cinnamon, some with mixed spice (pumpkin pie spice) some plain, just to get a pretty contrast. Also because Misty had a long nap and I got bored and didn’t want to clean the house.
Misty enjoyed some flakes as a mid morning snack with yoghurt.
I enjoyed mine with rice milk and sunshine. Seriously, these are good. I wouldn’t subject Buddy EE to anything less than. I’m really digging them, just like cornflakes, but with a decent nutritional profile. Hurrah.

Vegan. Stay at home Mum of Misty. Yoga teacher in training. Passionate about REAL food - creating it, eating it, sharing it. I can never stick to a recipe.
This is incredible! I’ve never considered making cereal that isn’t granola. Wowzers.
dude, it’s SO easy too. I’m loving this challenge, cos it is limiting me to certain ingredients so I can truly focus…. that’s a good thing for me, because I find focusing HARD
oh i bet i could make those crunchies. I am all about good GF cereal. we might need to do a baking exchange here!
Oh yeah, fo shizzle I gots a good hook up for some cheap chickpea flour in ‘da-hood,’ too (my Mum works next to an awesome bulk bin place… it’s called Bin Inn, or in Kiwi speak, “Bun Unn”)
I love everything about this recipe!!! I’ve said it before, but I mean it when I say you’re a genius!
you make me blush! Good thing these are tasty tasty, I can’t stop eating them
I have to make these cornies soon! Hubby has been on a homemade cereal kick and I keep giving him all types of granola. These will be perfect.
My fav cereal as a kid was those sugar bombs called frosted flakes. I can’t beleive my Mom let me eat those things!
I think I used to have a bit of cereal with my ‘bowl of sugar’ for brekfast – my mum would always buy the boring cereal so I would just dump sugar on top. ah, childhood!
Hahaha! Wow, that looks awesome!
When I was younger I used to have shredded wheat for breakfast every single day – not bad…but then I added lots of sugar to it! Had to be caster sugar, I loved how fine it was, lol! 
Love how you make normal foods extra special and healthful! <3 xyx
Now I love unprocessed cereal…I recently found puffed oats which I like, ecause of the volume, but I also love wholegrains like oats.
When I was recovering from my ed and trying to put on weight I ate bucketloads of grapenuts with soy milk! Can’t look at them now though, ate far to many boxes – but they worked a treat at filling me out a little bit – so dense and delicious and quite healthy too!
Yeah I was a cereal-sugar-pourer as a kid too – sugar or Milo! Man, no wonder I was hyper most of the time
Sometimes me and my sister would dump spoonfuls of sugar in water, mix it up and drink it, just ‘cos. Boredom? Stupidity? Whatever, we drank sugar water. Crazy kids 
Those look soooooo gooood!!
Not at all like what I could scrape from my fridge, lol!
Your presentation and purpose is spectacular!
I am inspired:) thank you. xx
They’re actually really yummy! I love them,,, you wouldn’t think they would be tasty, but they ARE… plus really good for you, hooray!
