Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, peanut or sunflower)
  • 1/2 cup rice syrup
  • 4 cups O’s Cereal (you can use whatever “O”-type cereal you like: Cheerios, Trader Joe’s O’s, etc.)
  • Optional: Mini chocolate chips for garnish
  • Optional: Flaky sea salt for topping
  • Optional: Vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Place the nut butter and rice syrup in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and warm for 2 minutes or until it becomes smooth and combined.
  2. Place the cereal in a bowl, then pour the warm nut butter/rice syrup mixture into the bowl with the cereal and stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Shape into cookies using a mini ice cream scooper or a tablespoon. Alternatively, press the mixture into a 9x9 inch ungreased pan.
  4. Allow the cookies or bars to cool completely. As the O’s mixture cools, it will harden, making them ready to enjoy.

Notes

- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the warm nut butter mixture.
- Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan for easy cutting into bars once cooled.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly dampen your hands before shaping the cookies. This makes the process much smoother.
- Store the finished cereal cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
