Ingredients

• 1 cup Flaxseed meal
• 0.25 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk of choice (optional, for serving)
• 0 optional Toppings (e.g., sliced banana, berries, nuts, or seeds, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until softened. Stir to combine into a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Pour the peanut butter mixture and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until a thick dough-like consistency forms.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or the back of a spatula to press the mixture into an even, thin layer (approximately 1/4 inch thick).

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the mixture will become brittle.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into small cereal-like pieces.

Step 8

Serve your homemade cereal in a bowl with your favorite milk and toppings, or enjoy it as a dry snack.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
