This Healthy Cookie Crisp Cereal is made with just 9 whole food ingredients so you can feel good about eating it for breakfast. Vegan and no refined sugar.
Cookies for breakfast!?! Yes, please. I've been baking up this healthy version of the familiar childhood cereal, Cookie Crisp for several months now and today I'm finally sharing it here.
The store bought version may be vegan(depending on how you feel about using sugar), but it certainly isn't the healthiest way to start the day. The first 4 ingredients are corn, sugar, corn meal, and brown sugar. Sure the corn is whole grain and they throw in some vitamins, but really it not much better than eating an actual cookie for breakfast(and I'm pretty sure the cookie would taste a lot better).
Be sure to check out my Peanut Butter Puff Cereal for another healthy remake of a popular store bought cereal.

This cereal is very easy to make. Start by combing dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl. Then stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Use a small cookie scoop or pastry bag to place cookies on baking sheet. Bake until crisp!
Equipment
You can use a pastry bag or sandwich bag to squeeze dough onto baking sheet. Place tip to baking sheet and squeeze a small amount of dough out. Use kitchen shears to snip the cookie away from bag. You can also use a mini cookie scoop if you have one.
Storage
Store cookie cereal in an airtight container in the pantry. Good for up to 1 week.
Try a bowl with ice cold almond milk or simply by the handful, it's delicious either way. If you try this recipe, let me know how it turns out! Leave a comment below or snap a pic and tag it @weelittlevegans on Instagram so I'll be sure to see it!
