Instructions
For the Krispy Treats:
- Line a brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cereal, oats, flax and salt.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, stir together the almond butter, rice syrup, vanilla paste, and extracts. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until mixture is runny.
- Add the protein powder to the wet ingredients, spoonful by spoonful, until incorporated. Scoop this mixture over the dry ingredients and fold together. Scoop this into the pan and flatten.
For the Coconut Layer:
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the coconut butter and microwave at 30-second intervals until melted. Stir in the coconut milk and extracts. Add the protein powder and coconut and stir again. Spread this over the base layer (you can use a rubber spatula or wrap your fingers with plastic wrap and press it to the edges of the pan).
For the Chocolate Topping:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and melt at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until melted. Drizzle over the krispy treats and refrigerate until firm. Slice and enjoy!
