Have you ever had those famous Little Debbies Cosmic brownies? If you have you know how delicious they are, but also how bad they are for you. This cosmic brownie cereal is both delicious and nutritious so that you get a filling breakfast in the morning.
Not to mention, these cosmic brownies are completely vegan and gluten free for all my allergen sensitive people out there! These are perfect for a quick breakfast, late night snack, or post workout meal!
Here are some other vegan and gluten free treats on my site:
Key ingredients for this cosmic brownie cereal:
- Oat flour
- I like to make my oat flour at home by blending up some gluten free oats. Just make sure that the out flour is very fine.
- Almond flour
- I like using almond flour because it adds some nutrients and helps keep the cereal dense and moist.
- Chocolate protein powder
- I love incorporating protein powder into my baked goods! It adds nice flavors and obviously a kick of protein. My favorite ones are from Primal Kitchen and Orgain!
- Cocoa powder
- I used Anthony’s unsweetened cocoa powder and it is one of my favorites. I recommend using unsweetened so you can control the sweetness and what kind of sweetener.
- Coconut sugar
- This is by far my favorite granulated sweetener. It adds a deep nutty flavor, and it is also lower on the glycemic index. That means this sweetener will not spike your blood sugar as much as cane sugar.
- Flax egg
- This is my preferred vegan replacement for an egg. All it is is 1 tbsp flax seed meal + 2½ tbsp water. It gets thick as it sits.
- Chocolate chips
- I love using Lily Sweet’s dark chocolate chips. They are vegan and sugar free!
- Almond milk
- Almond milk helps combine the dough together, and it also helps the melted chocolate take on a thicker, denser consistency.
