Coco Puffs sugar and gluten free

Posted 2017-12-01 by Naomi ⇒ follow

These taste like coco pops without the sugar hit or calories! They are made with brown rice puffs which are high in fibre, low in calories and are cholesterol-free. I use stevia for a sugar-free or maple syrup for a refined-sugar free option.

It is quick, easy to make and is a healthier breakfast option than store purchased cereal. They are low FODMAP, gluten and refined sugar free.

Add the coconut oil, vanilla essence and stir until evenly coated.

Wrap in baking baking, roll tightly into a log and refrigerate for 15 minutes, to enhance the flavour.

Spread the rice puffs over the tray and bake for 8 minutes, remove from the oven and stir to break up any clusters.
