Ingredients
- 1 cup Daily Crunch Cacao + Sea Salt Sprouted Almonds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2/3 cup puffed cereal (rice, corn, millet)
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup dried fruit
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp almond or vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
Loosely chop almonds. In a large mixing bowl add almonds, pumpkin seeds, puffed cereal, rolled oats, dried fruit, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined.
-
In a glass bowl, mix together peanut butter and maple syrup. Microwave for 10-15 seconds. Add in almond extract and stir to combine.
-
Add chocolate chips to the dry ingredients, then pour peanut butter mixture over everything. Mix until well combined and there are no loose ingredients.
-
Transfer mixture to a parchment paper lined pan. I used a 8×8 glass dish. Firmly press the mixture using the back of spoon or spatula. You want to make sure everything is nice and compact, including the edges, in order to make sure the bars stay together.
-
Place bars in the freezer and allow to set for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Once set, remove from dish and cut into bars or squares. Store covered in the refrigerator.
