Step 1
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Combine the nut/seed butter and the maple syrup in a bowl and stir with a spoon.
Step 2
Add the oat flour and cocoa powder and mix again.
Step 3
Then use your hands to shape the mixture into a dough. If it’s too dry, add more maple syrup or nut/seed butter. If it’s too wet, add more oat flour, one teaspoon at a time.
Step 4
Next, preheat the oven to 320 °F (160 °C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 5
Meanwhile, divide the dough into four pieces and roll them into ropes about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Step 6
Use a knife to cut the ropes into smaller pieces, about ½-¾-inch thick, then roll each of those pieces into balls with your hands. This cocoa cereal recipe should make between 120-140 balls.
Step 7
Transfer the prepared cereal balls to the baking sheet, with space in between, and bake them for about 10 minutes. Then leave them to cool completely.The homemade cocoa puffs cereal will still be soft immediately out of the oven but firm up as they cool. Be careful not to overbake them, as they can and will burn.
Step 8
Enjoy the chocolate cereal balls for breakfast with your favorite dairy-free milk (and optional fruit) of your choice!
