Another tasty treat from VegNews. I have made these several times and they are crowd pleasers. Great to take along on a car ride or for a hike. Super easy to prepare, and I really like the flavor of the almond butter adds.
Ingredients:
2 cups rice cereal (I found Whole Foods bulk puffed rice cereal to have the fewest extra ingredients)
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup cranberries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup almonds – finely chopped or slivered
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Mix cereal, raisins, cranberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and almonds together in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, cook the brown rice syrup and almond butter for 1-2 minutes until warm and bubbling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over cereal mix and stir to combine until evenly distributed. Press into a 9″ pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
I sampled these cereal bars at a party and they were fantastic!
They are light, not too sweet, and not greasy at all. Highly reccomended
So glad you enjoyed them, Giovanni!
These look yummy! I think I’ll have to give them a try- Thx ED!
I think these look like a crowd pleaser at our house. They are my next cooking project (after digging out of the snow).
i think the girls will like them – let me know! : ) stay warm!
