Let’s be real: who doesn’t love a bowl of chocolatey Chocos in the morning? That sweet, crunchy, indulgent bite can turn even the sleepiest face into a smile. But if you've ever flipped the pack and read the ingredients list (hi there, sugar and additives!), you might’ve felt a little conflicted.

Enter: homemade Chocos. Made with love, whole ingredients, and zero nasties — these little bites of goodness are here to replace your store-bought cereal with something that’s actually good for you. And the best part? You can make them in your own kitchen in under 30 minutes!
Why Homemade Chocos Are a Game-Changer
No Refined Sugar: Unlike commercial Chocos loaded with white sugar and high-fructose syrup, this homemade version is naturally sweetened with honey — a gentle sweetener with antibacterial properties.
Nutrient-Rich Flours: We swap out refined wheat with oat flour and almond flour, which are rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Oat flour keeps you full longer and aids digestion, while almond flour adds that nutty richness and vitamin E boost.
Protein-Packed & Energizing: Thanks to peanut butter and milk, each crunchy piece is packed with protein and good fats. Perfect for little ones heading to school or adults dashing to work.
Cocoa Without the Crash: You still get that chocolatey fix with cocoa powder, but without artificial flavors or colors. Just clean, rich cocoa — that’s it.
No Preservatives, No Junk: No hidden preservatives, no weird ingredients you can’t pronounce. Just real food that loves your body back.
Homemade Chocos Recipe
Ingredients:
½ cup oat flour
½ cup almond flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp peanut butter (unsweetened)
2 tbsp honey
2–3 tbsp milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
A pinch of salt

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients — oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients — peanut butter, honey, and 2 tbsp of milk. Mix until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add another splash of milk.
Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a dough. It should be soft but not sticky. If too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until about ½ cm thick.
Cut into tiny squares or fun shapes using a knife or mini cookie cutter. (This is much easier than rolling the dough in balls. I do this so as to involve my child in the process.)
Bake for 10–12 minutes. Let them cool completely — they’ll crisp up as they cool!
Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).

How to Enjoy Homemade Chocos

Sprinkle over Greek yogurt and fruits.
Pack them as school snacks or carry them for a midday munch at work.
