Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milk and Cereal Bars Recipe
Directions
- 1Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- 2Pour the cereal of your choice into a large bowl and set aside.
- 3In a small saucepan, bring the coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, and butter over medium heat to a gentle simmer.
- 4Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon and vanilla.
- 5Pour the melted almond butter mixture on top of the cereal and use a spoon or spatula to mix it all together until the cereal is coated.
- 6Whisk all of the "milk" layer ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- 7To assemble, scoop half of the cereal mixture into the bottom of the loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
- 8Next, spread the greek yogurt mixture on top of the cereal in an even layer.
- 9Top with the remaining cereal mixture, and spread it so that the greek yogurt is covered, lightly patting it in so that it adheres.
- 10Pop the loaf pan into the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- 11Slice into bars, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Tips
- You can use almost any cereal you love, but a high-quality one that holds its crunch well is recommended.
- For a dairy-free version, swap butter for vegan butter and use dairy-free yogurt.
- Peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter can be used instead of almond butter, just ensure it's natural without added oil or sugar.
- Freezing is essential for the layers to set and the bars to hold together.
- Add mix-ins like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or a drizzle of melted chocolate before freezing.
