Ingredient Notes
- Almond butter
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- Oat flour
- Matcha powder: I use ceremonial-grade matcha powder.
- Kosher salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Add half of the flour, sifted matcha powder, and salt to the mixture and stir to combine. Slowly add more flour until a workable dough forms. Place a damp cloth over the bowl with the dough while you work with the cookie cutter.
- Use a rolling pin to roll about a third of the dough out to about 1/8″ thickness. Use a mini cookie cutter to cut out shapes of your choice, or cut the rolled slab of dough into squares using a knife to cut horizontally and then vertically.
- Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, remove from the tray, and let cool completely before storing or enjoying.
- Store your matcha cereal in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to a week.
Expert Tips
- Use whatever shape cookie cutter you want, or cut into squares.
- Serve your cereal with your favorite plant-based milk and slice strawberries on top if desired.
Storage Tips
Store your matcha cereal in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week.
