Ingredients

Scale
  1. a half cup of almond butter
  2. coconut oil, 4 tbsp
  3. 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  4. a third cup of honey
  5. a half teaspoon of vanilla extract
  6. 2 cups rolled oats, whole flaked
  7. 2 cups rice cereal (puffed)
  8. a quarter cup of salted peanuts
  9. a quarter cup of sliced almonds
  10. a quarter-cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line an 8″ × 8″ pan with parchment that extends over the sides (a larger pan will result in thinner bars). Cooking spray should be used.
  • Melt almond butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat, constantly stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer, add the vanilla and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • In a separate saucepan, add the oatmeal. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat, until toasted and a popcorn aroma emerges. Don’t let it burn by overcooking it or stopping to stir it. Allow cooling for a few minutes.
  • Toss toasted oats and puffed rice cereal together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the somewhat cooled almond butter mixture to coat the top. Add the peanuts, almonds, and chocolate chips when the mixture is no longer warm to the touch.
  • Press the mixture into the pan that has been prepared. Because the mixture will be sticky, cover it with saran wrap and firmly press it down with the bottom of a glass. Before cutting into bars, chill for at least an hour.
  • To end, drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.
