Ingredients
2 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more
for greasing the pan
1 cup brown rice syrup or coconut
nectar
¾ cup almond butter or peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups Erewhon Brown Rice Crispy
Cereal (gluten-free)
¼ cup sesame seeds
½ cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds
½ cup chopped nuts, optional
¾ cup raisins or dried cranberries
Directions
Grease a 9x13-inch glass baking pan with
coconut oil and set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a medium saucepan
over medium heat. Add the brown rice
syrup and nut butter and heat until tiny
bubbles form, stirring constantly, but
gently, with a wire whisk. Immediately take
the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Place remaining ingredients into a large
bowl. Pour the hot syrup mixture over it
and immediately mix together with a
wooden spoon. Pour the mixture into the
prepared pan and press the mixture flat
with a rubber spatula.
