High Protein Cereal Cookies

Make them savory, make them sweet! What I love about this recipe is that these cereal cookies are a no-bake treat that can last up for 2-3 days in the fridge and can be customized to your favorite cereal. Below is the recipe for the basic cookie but don’t be afraid to add your spin on it!

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup mini marshmallows
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp peanut butter
• Pinch of salt
• Cooking spray
• 1.5 Cups whole-grain cereal (I use Kashi)
• ½ Cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Combine marshmallows, butter, cocoa, vanilla, and salt in a large microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for one minute. Remove bowl from microwave and stir with a large rubber spatula coated with cooking spray.

2. Stir in cereal and chocolate chips

3. Coat a 1/4th cup dry measuring cup (or cookie scoop) with cooking spray and lightly pack the measuring cup with the cereal mixture; drop onto a parchment paper-line baking sheet or plate and freeze or refrigerate until firm.
