Paleo Banana Nut Breakfast Cereal

Cereal is one of my most favorite foods.  I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.  Eat it by the handful, spoonful, or on top of a yogurt parfait.  When I was little I used to mix all kinds of cereal together because  loved having a variety or textures and flavors in my mouth.  I wanted to make some kind of cereal other than granola, and after researching on other food blogs I came up with this cereal!  You won’t find added sugar or preservatives in here, just the delicious taste of banana and nutty goodness.  So easy and simple to make,  you don’t need to buy cereal anymore!  This has the taste of banana nut muffins in a wheat-free and gluten-free cereal!  Make this now!
