How to Make Baked Cereal Squares Gluten Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and milk (or milk alternative).
  5. 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.
  6. Lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or cooking spray.
  7. 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).
  8. 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.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cereal feels slightly crisp and dry to the touch.
  10. 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.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into smaller squares.
  12. 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.
