Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 25 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
3 cups puffed rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
3 cups fruit-flavored cereal flakes, such as Fruity Pebbles
1/2 cup finely chopped dried fruit, such as apricots, cranberries or cherries

Steps:

  • Line an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with enough foil so that there's a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and a small pinch of salt. Add the crispy rice cereal and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape up the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and pat down into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help).
  • Clean the pot out and repeat the process with the remaining butter, marshmallows, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, fruit flavored cereal flakes, dried fruit and a small pinch of salt. Spoon the mixture directly on top of the puffed rice cereal and pat down into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut into 25 small squares. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

WHOLE30 HOT APPLE CEREAL



Whole30 Hot Apple Cereal image

This grainless porridge relies on sweet and tart Honeycrisp apples to make a chunky sauce enriched with coconut milk, cashews and ground flaxseed. It's packed with fiber and is friendly to the Whole30 program (a lifestyle that encourages you to choose whole food over processed, and eschews sugar, grains, dairy and legumes).

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 Honeycrisp apples (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup canned coconut milk
2/3 cup roasted cashews, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1/2 cup raisins, plus more for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cut off the sides/cheeks from 1 apple and slice; reserve. Set aside 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
  • Peel and core the remaining 5 apples and cut into 1-inch chunks. Add the apple chunks, remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk and 2/3 cup water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half and the apples are tender and can be easily mashed with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently mash the apples, making sure to leave some chunks for texture.
  • Meanwhile, pulse the cashews in a food processor until they are completely ground and resemble flour (be careful not to make butter). Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the flaxseed and cinnamon. Fold the cashew-flax mixture and raisins into the mashed apple mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Divide the porridge among 4 bowls and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of the reserved coconut milk. Top each bowl with apple slices, crushed cashews if using, raisins if using and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more softened for pan
1 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 recipe mix-ins (see below)
5 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal, such as Cocoa Krispies
1 cup cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cereal treats will be.

  • Press the cereal treats firmly into the pan. This will help them hold together better.
  • Let the cereal treats cool completely before cutting them. This will prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the cereal treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
