Best Coconut Cereal Treat Carrots Recipes

SPICED CHAR WITH MOROCCAN CARROTS

Steps:

• Toast the almonds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
• Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the carrots, apricots and 3/4 cup water. Reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the carrots are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and add the toasted almonds, scallions, olives, honey, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon ras el hanout. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the carrots are glazed, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• Meanwhile, season the fish with the remaining 1 teaspoon ras el hanout and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the fish, skin-side down, and cook, flipping once, until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes; season with salt. Remove from the heat and let the fish rest 2 minutes in the hot skillet. Serve with the carrots.

CINNAMON CEREAL TREAT MUMMIES

Steps:

• Make the treats: Line a 9-inch square baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; lightly coat with cooking spray. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and salt and cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in both cereals until coated, then press into the prepared pan. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the icing: Whisk 2 cups confectioners' sugar and the meringue powder in a large bowl until combined. Add 4 tablespoons water and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and the consistency of a thick glaze. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the icing is too thick. Cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap and set aside until ready to use.
• Lift the treats out of the pan using the foil overhang, then cut into rectangles. Insert a lollipop stick into each. Brush an even layer of icing on the cereal treats with a pastry brush. Add the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and the ground cinnamon to the remaining icing; beat with the mixer until thick and pipable. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag and snip a corner. Pipe thin lines on the cereal treats to look like bandages and add 2 chocolate candies for eyes. Let set, about 15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT CEREAL TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal, pretzels and coconut and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat it into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let it sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars; cover and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
• Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

COCONUT-CEREAL MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until frothy. Fold in the coconut and cornflakes until combined. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the coconut mixture, packing it tightly with your fingers, and arrange 1 to 2 inches apart on the prepared pan. Form each into a pyramid shape.
• Bake until the macaroons are slightly firm and golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan.
• Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool slightly.
• Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Sprinkle the chocolate with nonpareils. Transfer the macaroons to a large plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, at least 30 minutes.

Refrigerate, covered, 4 hours before cutting. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

ROASTED COCONUT CARROTS
