Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup milk
Instructions

- Cut the dough into small squares or desired cereal shapes.
- Spread the pieces evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the cereal pieces are crisp.
