These cereal truffles are so easy to make! Made with better for you ingredients, they make a perfect holiday treat to enjoy with the entire family. If peanut allergies are a problem, sub peanut butter with sunflower butter or coconut butter. Decorate the truffles with coconut flour to make them look like snowballs, or add coloured sprinkles to make them festive! Hope you enjoy them, happy holidays!

Peanut Butter Cereal Truffles

Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and completely gluten free!
Servings: 12 Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup cereal of choice I used crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • sea salt, coconut flour, or sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  • Place parchment paper on a large cookie sheet. In a microwave safe bowl, or on stovetop, heat peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut oil. Add vanilla and whisk until combined.
  • Mix cereal into peanut butter. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes to cool. 
  • While it's cooling, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second intervals in microwave, or on stove top until it becomes liquid.
  • Using a cookie scoop or measuring cup, form cereal mixture into balls. Place ball into melted chocolate and then transfer to prepared cookie sheet. Top with desired toppings. I like coconut flour to make them look like they are dusted with snow for the holidays! Course flakey salt is my second favourite! Other options are chopped nuts, chia seeds, and coloured sprinkles. Enjoy!

Peach Blender Muffins

by Leave a Comment

 

I’m really happy to be back in the kitchen and developing new recipes! Peaches and nectarines have been a constant in our house this summer, and I really wanted to make a morning muffin highlighting this delicious fruit. So often, we see fruit muffins using bananas, and I thought, why not do it with peaches!

You know how much I love to reduce the amount of tools you need for a recipe, so as I was blending my muffins, I thought hmmmm what if we make the whole recipe in here? After many tests, I think I finally perfected the easiest, healthiest, muffin recipe that your whole family will love. My twin toddlers gobble these up for an easy breakfast or snack. Hope you enjoy!

1-Bowl Almond Oat Squares (GF)

by Leave a Comment

Oat Almond SquaresThese super easy almond oat squares are the perfect breakfast or snack solution for you and your baby. The base is simple, and allows for you to flavour to your palette. Add blueberries for a fruity kick, or add shredded zucchini and carrots for some added veggie goodness. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, these taste good, and are good for you too!

Almond Oat Squares are a great option if you are exploring baby led weaning, as breakfast options can be hard! A lot of breakfasts need a spoon (think yogurt and a bowl of oatmeal), which can be a bit of a mess and struggle if you’re doing baby led weaning. My 1 year old twins are independent eaters and absolutely do not want to be spoon fed. I rather give them these bites for breakfast and coat them in yogurt so they can feed themselves and be in full control.

If you happen to be making them for yourself, feel free to add 1/4 cup of maple syrup for added sweetness. You can also pour some on top if you and your baby want to share. The best part of this recipe is the ease, 1 bowl, dump into a prepared baking dish, slice and serve. As always, this recipe is free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars.
