Ingredients

  • 1½ cup quick oats
  • 1 cup crisp brown rice cereal
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup add ins, cook's choice; page note suggests additional crisp brown rice cereal
  • 1⅛ cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼–½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Method

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, rice cereal, flaxseed, chia seeds and add ins.
  2. In a medium microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until melted. Add maple syrup and salt and stir to combine.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Line a 9x9 baking pan with a silicone mat, parchment paper or wax paper and pour the mixture into it. Wet your hands, and press the mixture firmly into the pan. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the freezer and using the lining, pull the bars out and place on a cutting board. Cut into 16 bars and enjoy.
