ingredients
No-Bake Cereal Cookies
1/4 cup
Crystal Margarine
400g (1 bag)
marshmallows (mini ones melt faster)
6 cups
gluten-free cereal (ex. Chex)
3 tbsp
vanilla Greek yogurt
3/4 cup
dried peaches, diced
1/4 cup
sunflower seeds, roasted
directions
- In a large pot, melt Crystal Margarine over medium heat.
- Add in the marshmallows and begin stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt and mix just until combined.
- Pour the cereal, sunflower seeds and diced peaches into the melted marshmallow mixture, turn off the heat, and begin gently folding the cereal into the mixture until evenly coated.
- With a large spoon, quickly begin scooping portions of the cereal onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- The cookies can cool on the baking sheet in their natural shape, or rub a little margarine onto your hands to begin shaping the cookies into any shape you prefer, like balls or flat circles.
- Allow the cookies to rest for 4 hours before packing into an airtight container for storage in the fridge. This allows the marshmallows to reset and hold their shape.
Chef’s Notes:
- If you don’t need this recipe to be gluten-free, try substituting in any of your favourite cereals in place of the 6 cups of gluten-free cereal.
- Can’t find dried peaches, or prefer another dried fruit? Try mixing things up by using dried currants, berries or raisins. You can usually find a wide variety of dried fruits at your local bulk food store.
