Vegan & Gluten-free Gingerbread Cereal Bars

These gingerbread cereal bars are the perfect healthy and delicious snack for the holiday season! They're made with simple ingredients while being so so tasty. I used a high protein cereal from Three Wishes, but you can use any cereal you'd like. I personally love the gingerbread flavor and will find any excuse to add it to every recipe. These are vegan (make sure to use vegan-friendly marshmallows), gluten-free, dairy-free, and so yummy!

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• cereal of choice

Cuisine: American

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 6 cup gluten-free/dairy-free cereal of choice I used Three Wishes (linked in the blog post!)
• 6 cup vegan marshmallows can sub regular marshmallows if not vegan!
• 4 tablespoon nondairy butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

Method

 

1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, add the marshmallows and butter. Cook over medium-low heat until completely melted together. Stir in the vanilla, molasses, and spices until well combined.
3. Immediately add in your cereal and continuously stir until the cereal is completely coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down. I like to stick my hand in a Ziplock bag and cover the bag in butter or oil to easily press the cereal mixture down without it sticking to your hands!
4. Place pan in the fridge to set for about an hour. Slice and enjoy!
