Ingredients
- 3 cups cornflakes
- 1.5 scoops protein powder (preferably vanilla or chocolate)
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup mixed seeds (such as sunflower and pumpkin seeds)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornflakes and gently crush them using the back of a wooden spoon or your hands until they are in smaller pieces, but not too finely crushed.
Step 2
Sprinkle the protein powder over the crushed cornflakes and toss to combine evenly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, then remove from heat.
Step 4
Pour the almond butter mixture over the cornflake and protein powder mixture. Add in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until all the cornflakes are well coated.
Step 5
Fold in the dried cranberries, mixed seeds, and dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press them together gently if they seem crumbly.
Step 8
Once all the clusters are formed, allow them to sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 9
Store the hardened clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
