Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground flaxseed, unsweetened shredded coconut, and sliced almonds.
Add granulated erythritol, almond extract, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, salt, and ground cinnamon to the bowl.
Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed and the mixture clumps slightly when pressed.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, turning and flipping the mixture halfway through for even baking, until it is lightly golden brown.
Allow the cornflakes to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will crisp up further.
Once cooled, break the cornflakes into smaller clusters and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
Serve with your choice of milk or enjoy as a snack!
