Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 & 3/4 C rolled oats
1 C crisp puffed brown rice cereal
1/4 C pumpkin seeds
1/4 C sunflower seeds
1/4 C chia seeds OR 1/8 C finely ground flaxseed (both optional)
1/4 C unsweetened coconut (optional)
1/2 C brown rice syrup
1/3 C creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl.
  • In a separate (microwave safe) bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, then microwave them for about 20 to 30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix and add to the dry ingredients since it's really sticky!
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix! Keep mixing until the wet binding ingredients are as well distributed as possible.
  • Put the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten it down. Place pan in fridge to let the bars chill/set.
  • After about 30 minutes in the fridge (or you can wait until the next day - whatever works), cut them into bars, then wrap them up in foil and store back in the fridge (or in the freezer!) for easy grabbing and go-ing!

Great quick and easy granola bar recipe that kids can make. Perfect to throw in lunches or in your purse for travel. You can also add 1/4 cup wheat germ without changing the consistency. Change up the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate for different flavors. I generally keep the bars in the refrigerator until I am ready to eat them, but these keep well to take to work or school.
