I haven't made this one in a while but was in the mood for its cinnamon spice goodness! It goes great with milk (all kinds - cows milk if your tolerate it, almond milk, coconut milk) as a cereal or is also great served as granola over yogurt. We may or may not enjoy just snacking on it as well... ;) And if you're not into eggs in the morning, or want another option to mix things up, give this one a try!
