How to Make Baked Cereal Squares Gluten Free
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and milk (or milk alternative).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Use your hands to form a cohesive dough ball.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a lightly floured rolling pin or your hands, roll the dough out as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch thickness).
- Optional: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to score the dough into desired squares or rectangles before baking. This will make breaking them apart easier later.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cereal feels slightly crisp and dry to the touch.
- If the cereal isn't dry enough after 15 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the squares inside for an additional 5-10 minutes with the residual heat.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into smaller squares.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
