Peanut Butter Puffs Cereal

You asked for it… Peanut Butter Puffs cereal! This is a re-creation of an all-time fave: Peanut Butter Panda Puffs.

You may already know about my childhood cereal addiction. But we all have to grow up. Learning what crap actually goes into those cereals was a heart-break moment, and I tragically cut them out of my diet. 😭 

If you’re reading this, you can probably relate. 

Luckily, our Peanut Butter Puffs cereal is a delicious, crunchy, satisfying, healthier version that the whole family can enjoy! 🥣

Our Peanut Butter Puffs vs. Store-Bought: What’s the Difference?

Let’s compare ingredients, shall we?

The store-bought Peanut Butter Panda Puffs contain: whole grain corn meal, corn meal, cane sugar, peanut butter, soy oil, sea salt, tocopherols.

Our re-creation contains: quinoa puffs, extra virgin coconut oil, peanut butter (the completely natural kind with only one ingredient), and pure maple syrup. 

Not only is this recipe made with only 4 ingredients in total, it also takes just 10-15 minutes to make (including baking time). Seriously, who can resist making something as simple as this!? 

But wait, it gets better.

This recipe serves two people, and each bowl contains almost 50g of protein! 💪 Talk about the perfect start to the day!

What are our Peanut Butter Puffs Made Of?

As outlined above, all you need to make this recipe are the following four ingredients:

• Coconut oil
• Maple syrup
• Peanut butter
• Quinoa puffs

Yep, that’s everything (and a bowl, spoon, and your favorite plant milk of course!)

How to Make Peanut Butter Puffs?

These are so easy to make!

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then, to a mixing bowl, add coconut oil, maple syrup, and peanut butter, and mix well.

Add the quinoa puffs and mix. Make sure the cereal is coated well with the peanut butter mixture.

Transfer the cereal to a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown.

Set aside and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. You may need to use your hands to separate whatever pieces stuck together. Serve with fresh almond milk or your dairy-free milk of choice.

How to Store Peanut Butter Puffs?

When these puffs have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight container, like a Mason jar.

You can then store them for up to 3 days on the counter. After this, they may go a bit soft, so the sooner you eat them, the better.
