I should mention at the outset, that there is no bran in these Keto bran flakes.

I should probably have put air quotes around it. We're making "bran" flakes today. Yep, that's a lot more accurate.

The low carb cereal we are making today is actually composed of Almond Flour, Flax and Hemp Seeds and, how should I put this?

I'll just say it. The secret ingredient is Parmesan Cheese. But don't knock it before you've tried it! You don't actually taste the cheese in this cereal at all. But it does bind the ingredients together quite nicely.

Here, let me just show you how to make Keto Bran Flakes Cereal.

To make these "bran" flakes, you start by mixing together ¼ cup Almond flour, 3 TB Flaxseed Meal, 1 TB Hemp Seeds, 2 TB Sugar-Free Sweetener, 2 TB Parmesan Cheese and ⅛ tsp Salt in a medium sized bowl.
