Ingredients
  

Cereal Ingredients
  • 4 cups rice cereal
  • 1 cup sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted Can substitute with olive oil for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour your rice cereal. Drizzle the melted butter and vanilla extract over it. Gently stir to coat all the cereal evenly.
  4. Gradually sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered rice cereal, stirring continuously until all pieces are coated.
  5. Spread the coated cereal onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Once golden brown, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy with milk or toppings like fruits and yogurt.
