Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats - or oat flour (see notes)
- ½ cup cacao powder
- ¼ cup nut butter - or seed butter (Sunbutter is 100% nut free)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the oats to the food processor and blend until oats begin to break down and turn into a flourlike texture.
- Add the cacao powder, nut butter, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. Blend until the mixture comes together into a clump.
- Using a spoon, roll out small round pieces and lay onto the baking sheet. I used ½ teaspoon to get a uniform size.
- Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Balls will be soft to the touch, but cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to an airtight glass container.
- To serve: add ½ cup of chocolate cereal to a bowl along with your favorite choice of milk (dairy, non-dairy, or even yogurt). Eat with a spoon and enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
- You can make your own oat flour easily using rolled oats. It's more cost-effective and takes only 2 minutes - see instructions here.
- Store the chocolate cereal in an airtight glass container in the fridge or on the counter for up to one week.
- Recommended serving size is ½ cup of chocolate cereal served with your favorite milk (dairy or non-dairy) or plain unflavored yogurt.
- Nutrition info is for chocolate cereal only, without milk.
