Equipment

  • 8 x 8 Baking Dish
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
