In a pan, combine together the virgin coconut oil along with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
Add in puffed rice cereal and mix thoroughly. (* see below to bake this in an oven)
Heat the mixture on a low-medium flame until the coating dries up and the cereal doesn't clump together.
Remove from heat and let the cereal cool down completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Your Instant healthy Coco puffs cereal made on the stovetop is ready to enjoy!!
Notes
* To make a large batch in an oven: Spread the puffed rice coated with the chocolate mixture on a pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 170C/340F preheated oven for 3-5 mins, giving a mix halfway through.
Instead of puffed rice you can also use puffed brown rice cereal, puffed quinoa, puffed millet, puffed amaranth, etc for more wholesome options.
