Ingredients
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal (unsweetened, gluten-free if desired)
- 1/2 cup natural creamy nut butter (almond, cashew, or peanut; use sunbutter for nut-free)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- 1. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Set aside.
- 2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the nut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Stir constantly until smooth and well combined (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- 3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4. Add the puffed rice cereal to the saucepan. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated with the wet mixture.
- 5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Using a lightly greased spatula or your hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
- 6. Refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes, or until completely firm.
- 7. Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 9-12 bars using a sharp, non-serrated knife.
- 8. Serve immediately or store as directed. Enjoy!
