Honey Nut Cereal Bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter any drippy nut or seed butter will work too!
- ⅓ cup honey or agave/maple syrup
- 2 cups rice puffs
- ½ cup crushed hazelnuts or any nut!
- ½ cup crushed almonds or any nut!
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate use refined sugar free if desired! *
- 1 tsp coconut oil to help the chocolate melt
Instructions
- First, blitz your nuts in a food processor or finely chop them. You want them small enough that they aren't annoying to eat in your little bites! Add the crushed nuts into a medium bowl with 2 cups of rice puff cereal.
- Next, combine your nut butter, honey, salt, and cinnamon in a small pot. Mix together over medium heat until bubbly on the sides. It will take about 5 minutes. Then take your pot off of the heat and add your vanilla extract. Your wet mixture should be goey, but still pourable.
- Pour your wet mixture into your nuts and cereal and stir to combine. Make sure everything is coated evenly in the mixture.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. You can also place it in the freezer for 20 minutes. The helps the mixture cool and become more formable.
- While the balls are chilling, melt your chocolate (if desired) and coconut oil in the microwave or over the stove.
- Then remove your cereal mixture from the fridge and roll or scoop it into small balls. I use a one-ounce cookie/ice cream scooper!
- Coat or drizzle your honey nut cereal bites in the melted chocolate. Let sit at room temperature or in the fridge until set.
- The last thing to do is to enjoy them! Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
*If you do not want to use chocolate or do not have the time, they will still be just as scrumptious!
