Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cornflakes
- 1.5 scoops protein powder (preferably vanilla or chocolate)
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup mixed seeds (such as sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornflakes and gently crush them using the back of a wooden spoon or your hands until they are in smaller pieces, but not too finely crushed.
Sprinkle the protein powder over the crushed cornflakes and toss to combine evenly.
In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, then remove from heat.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the cornflake and protein powder mixture. Add in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until all the cornflakes are well coated.
Fold in the dried cranberries, mixed seeds, and dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press them together gently if they seem crumbly.
Once all the clusters are formed, allow them to sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Store the hardened clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
