Ingredients
Scale
Cereal Mix
- 8 cups Shredded Wheat Cereal
Coating Blend
- 1 cup Powdered Erythritol
- 4 tsp Matcha Powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 4 oz Healthy Matcha Green Tea White Chocolate
- 128g (½ cup) Roasted Almond Butter
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Matcha Mix: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol, matcha powder, and a pinch of salt until fully combined to create a dry seasoning mixture.
- Melt Chocolate and Almond Butter: Place the matcha white chocolate and almond butter in your largest microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Cereal: Add the shredded wheat cereal to the melted mixture and gently fold until every piece is fully coated with the smooth matcha-chocolate blend.
- Combine with Dry Mix: Transfer the coated cereal into a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag containing the powdered erythritol and matcha mixture. Seal the bag securely and shake vigorously until the cereal is evenly coated with the dry mixture.
- Set and Chill: Spread the coated cereal evenly onto a large cookie sheet. Refrigerate uncovered for 3 hours or until the mixture is completely dried and crunchy.
- Store for Snacking: Once set, divide the treat into individual portion-sized baggies for convenient, express snacking. Store these bags in the freezer to enjoy the crunchy treat directly from frozen.
Notes
- Use a large bowl to ensure even coating without breaking the cereal pieces.
- Microwaving in short bursts prevents the matcha white chocolate from burning.
- Refrigerating uncovered helps the coating set properly for a crunchy texture.
- Storing in the freezer keeps the snack fresh and adds a refreshing crunch when eaten cold.
- This recipe is ideal for those looking for a lower-sugar, antioxidant-rich snack thanks to matcha and erythritol.
