# Ingredients:
→ Cereal Ingredients
01 -
4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
02 -
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
03 -
2 tbsp maple syrup (sweetness can be adjusted)
04 -
3 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
05 -
4 cups puffed rice
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and let it warm up.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cacao, and vanilla. Stir it until it turns into a smooth, chocolatey sauce.
03 -
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Add puffed rice, pour the chocolate sauce over, and use your hands to mix it until everything's coated nicely.
04 -
Press the coated rice flat into the tray using a spatula. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven you preheated earlier.
05 -
Once out of the oven, leave it inside to cool off with the oven door cracked open. This helps it get crispy. Make sure it cools completely before handling.
06 -
After it cools down all the way, you can break it into pieces if you'd like. Transfer it to an airtight jar or container for safekeeping.
# Notes:
01 -
You can tweak the maple syrup amount to get your ideal sweetness.
02 -
Keep it fresh by using an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to a month.
03 -
Feel free to add extras like seeds, nuts, or other grains.
04 -
It’s a gluten-free and dairy-free alternative to classic chocolate rice cereal.
