No-Nut Cereal Bars
It was my turn to bring a snack to my La Leche League meeting on Thursday morning, and I’d just found a great recipe from my local health food store - Goodness Me - so I thought I’d try it out. These were a big hit and SUPER easy to make - kinda like making rice krispie squares but easier. They’re nut-free and gluten free!

No-Nut Cereal Bars
1 cup sunflower butter
1 cup agave nectar or honey
5 cups crispy brown rice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup flaxseedIn saucepan, bring sunflower butter and agave nectar to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Let sit a coupl eof hours in the refrigerator before cutting into pieces.
I didn’t have any apricot OR cranberry, so I chopped up dried mango and pineapple. Still very delicious!

ok, I don’t know if it’s the light or what but these kinda look like poop.
But I may try them if I can get ahold of crispy brown rice.. that’s all I need.
