Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1½ cups GF rolled oats
- 1¼ cups rice crisp cereal
- ¼ cup pepita seeds
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup brown rice syrup
- ¼ cup roasted almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Steps
- Preheat oven to 300 °F. Line 9 inch square cake pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper
- Spread the pecans in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside and cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, rice crisps, pepita, cranberries, cinnamon, salt. Stir in the cooled pecans.
- In a sauce pan, stir the syrup and almond butter until well combined. Cook over med-high heat until the mixture softens and bubbles slightly, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture, using a spatula to scrap every last bit. Stir well until all the oats are coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan, spreading it out in an even layer. Lightly wet your hands and press down on the mixture to even it out. Use a pastry roller to compact the mixture firmly and evenly. This helps the bars hold together better. Press down the edges with your fingers to even out the mixture.
- Place the pan in the freezer, uncovered, and chill for 10 minutes, or until firm.
- Lif the oat square out of the pan, using the parchment paper, and place on a cutting board. White a pizza roller, slice the squares into 6 rows then slice them in half to make 12.
- Wrap the bars individually and separate with waxed paper. Store in the fridge for 2 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month.
