Tahini Rice Crispy Cereal

makes about 3 1/2 cups of cereal

  • 2 cups crisped rice cereal
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • milk, for serving
  • bananas, for serving

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, mix together crisped rice cereal, oats, sesame seeds and coconut until well combined. In a small bowl, combine the tahini and maple syrup. If mixture is thick, add about 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out. Stir maple tahini sauce into the cereal mixture until well coated. Season with salt and spread coated cereal mixture onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to make sure mixture is evenly browned.  To serve, divide cereal into bowls, top with milk and bananas. Cereal will last in an airtight container for up to a week.
