Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 1.5 cups Freeze-dried strawberries
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar (vegan)
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the Corn Chex cereal and freeze-dried strawberries. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until fully combined and warm, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat and immediately pour over the Chex cereal and strawberries. Use a spatula to gently toss everything together, ensuring the cereal is coated evenly.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture a little at a time while gently folding the ingredients together. Continue until the powdered sugar is evenly distributed.
Spread the Chex mixture out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to cool and allow the glaze to set.
Once fully cooled, transfer the Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Chex to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy this sweet and crispy treat!
