INGREDIENTS
Cereal Layer
- 3 c cereal (choose one that is high quality!)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp butter (sub: vegan butter)
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of vanilla
"Milk" Layer
- 1 c greek yogurt (unflavored, unsweetened)
- 3 tbsp condensed milk (sub: oat milk condensed milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (sub: vanilla extract)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cereal Layer
- Pour the cereal of your choice into a large bowl. I went with a Cinnamon Toast cereal. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, and butter over medium heat to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon and vanilla.
- Pour the melted almond butter mixture on top of the cereal. Use a spoon or spatula to mix it all together until the cereal is coated.
"Milk" Layer
- Whisk all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Cereal Bars
- To assemble, scoop half of the cereal mixture into the bottom of the loaf pan. Spread it into an even layer.
- Next, spread the greek yogurt mixture on top of the cereal in an even layer.
- Top with the remaining cereal mixture, and spread it so that the greek yogurt is covered. Lightly pat it in so that it adheres.
- Pop the loaf pan into the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Slice into bars, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
