Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, water, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the coconut oil has melted and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract into the warm honey mixture.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture into the bowl with the cornmeal and mix until a smooth batter is formed.

Step 6

On a cutting board, roughly chop the almonds to your desired size. Mix the chopped almonds into the batter.

Step 7

Spread the batter thinly and evenly over the prepared baking sheet using a spatula, aiming for a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly until you can handle the sheet.

Step 10

Carefully peel away the parchment paper and break the cornflake sheet into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 11

Arrange the broken cornflakes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for additional 10-15 minutes to crisp up.

Step 12

Once crisply baked, remove from the oven and let the cornflakes cool completely before storing or serving.

Step 13

Store the cornflakes in an airtight container for up to two weeks, maintaining their crunch and flavor.
