Equipment

Cookie sheet or any tray

Ingredients

2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I used peanut butter
1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
2 tsp cocoa powder (4 g)
1/4 cup oat flour (30 g) sub (gf) all purpose if desired
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30 g) plant based if desired, you can also just use more oat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
About 4 tsp (nut) milk (20 g) I used unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a small bowl mix together nut butter and maple syrup (it helps to gently microwave them to loosen your nut butter, like 10 secs). Stir in your cocoa powder until smooth and no clumps remain.
Add all other ingredients. Add enough (nut) milk 1 tsp at a time to make it come together into a cookie dough consistency (not sticky, if it becomes too sticky, add some more flour or protein and refrigerate to firm it up).
(Optional) It helped me to roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment and slice into small squares first so I didn't have to try to break equal size pieces over and over :) This is totally optional.
Make small round bits of cookie dough between your palms and organize them on the parchment.
Bake 15 minutes and check for desired level of crunchiness. If you like them more crunchy you can bake a few more minutes.
Cool your cereal completely and enjoy!
