Peanut Butter Protein Cereal Bars

Course Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 box 7oz of grain-free cereal (we used unsweetened cereal from Eat Lovebird, but crispy rice works great too!)
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter we used Whole Foods brand
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder we used Ritual brand

For the Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup coconut cream the thick part at the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips we used Lakanto brand
  • Flakey sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, and protein powder until well combined. Add the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
  • Press the cereal mixture firmly into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and coconut cream together, stirring often, until smooth.
  • Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cereal mixture in the pan.
  • Place the pan in the fridge for about an hour to allow the ganache to cool and firm up.
  • Once firm, slice the bars and serve with a sprinkle of flakey sea salt on top.
  • Enjoy your delicious treats! Store any leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
