Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Brown rice cereal
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter (unsweetened and creamy)
- 0.3 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter, honey, and coconut oil.
Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).
Place the brown rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the almond butter mixture over the cereal.
Using a spatula, gently fold the cereal into the almond butter mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press it firmly into an even layer using the spatula or your hands (slightly dampen your hands to prevent sticking).
If using dark chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top and gently press them into the mixture.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to allow the treats to firm up.
Once set, remove from the pan and cut into 12 squares or bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
