Ingredients
- 4 cups Brown rice cereal
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia powder, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, place the brown rice cereal.
Step 5
Pour the cocoa mixture over the rice cereal, ensuring to drizzle it evenly. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently mix until all the cereal is evenly coated with the cocoa mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated cereal over the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Be careful to break up any large clumps.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Stir the cereal once halfway through the baking process to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
After baking, remove from the oven and let the cereal cool completely on the baking sheet. The cooling process will help the cereal become crispy.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the cocoa crispies to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy with your favorite milk or as a crunchy topping for yogurt or smoothie bowls.
