Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Chex cereal (gluten-free)
- 1 cup Freeze-dried strawberries
- 1.5 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional for added sweetness, ensure it’s vegan)
- 0.125 teaspoons Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the Corn Chex cereal and set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until melted. Stir to combine.
Pour the warm coconut oil mixture over the Corn Chex cereal, gently tossing to evenly coat the cereal.
Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt, tossing again until evenly distributed. Adjust the level of sweetness based on preference by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberries to combine, being careful not to crush them too much.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Enjoy as a snack or topping for non-dairy yogurt or ice cream!
