8 x 8 Baking Dish
Rolling Pin
- 3 1/2 cups Lovebird Unsweetened Cereal
- 3/4 cup almond butter runny, natural
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Chocolate Topping
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips 4.5oz
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 pinch flaked sea salt optional
Place cereal in a gallon sized ziplock bag and crush into “rice” sized pieces with a rolling pin. This will help all of the ingredients bind together and give it a “rice-like” texture. Place crushed cereal in a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, on medium low heat, melt the almond butter, honey and coconut oil and mix until everything comes together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add in vanilla, salt and flaxseed meal. Stir everything together until you get a cohesive mixture.
Pour the almond butter mixture into the cereal and mix thoroughly so that all cereal gets coated. Press evenly into an 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Make the Chocolate Topping
Add the chocolate chips, coconut oil and almond butter to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals, mixing between each session until you have a smooth consistency.
Spread on top of the cereal treats and top with sea salt if desired. Refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 20 min) and munch on!
