Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp natural baking powder
  • 1 tsp natural cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Start by mixing the rolled oats, almond flour, natural baking powder, and natural cinnamon in a large bowl, ensuring all the dry elements are evenly distributed.
  2. Melt and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate pan, gently melt the plant-based butter then stir in the maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), plant-based milk, and natural gelling agent until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently using a spatula until the mixture starts to clump together like cookie dough but still loose enough to form cereal-sized clusters.
  4. Bake for Crispness: Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even crisping without burning.
  5. Cool and Store: Once golden and crisp, allow the cookie cereal to cool completely on the tray; it will harden further into perfect clusters. Store in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.

Notes

  • Form clusters about the size of a large marble for the ideal crunch-eat ratio.
  • Keep a close eye near the end of baking to avoid burning and maintain perfect texture.
  • Add mix-ins after initial baking for more texture contrast rather than baking them inside.
  • Fresh cinnamon (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Keep the cereal away from humidity to avoid losing its crunch.
