Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups puffed rice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond butter
- 0.5 cup mixed nuts, chopped
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the puffed rice with the melted coconut oil and honey mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the puffed rice.
Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture down evenly and compactly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the almond butter until it becomes a smooth and runny consistency.
Pour the warmed almond butter over the pressed rice mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts and pumpkin seeds evenly over the almond butter layer.
Dust the top with cinnamon to add a warm, spiced flavor.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the almond butter to set and the bars to firm up.
Once set, remove the block from the dish using the parchment paper. Slice into 8 equal squares or as desired for serving.
