These are adapted from Cookin'Diva's delicious Chewy No-Bake Granola Bars, which were adapted from Kittencal's No-Bake Rice Krispies Peanut Butter Granola Bars (Lower-Fat). They are easy to change according to your own tastes. No matter what, they are tastier and healthier than store-bought. Ingredients:
3 cups puffed brown rice cereal (or puffed millet) |
3 cups quick-cooking oats |
3/4 cup apricot, chopped |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
3/4 cup shredded coconut (preferrably unsweetened) |
3/4 cup honey |
3/4 cup peanut butter |
3/4 cup flax seed meal, mixed with |
2 tablespoons water |
3/4 cup carob chips |
Directions:
1. Mix cereal, oats, fruit, nuts, and coconut in a large bowl.
2. Heat honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Stir in peanut butter and flax meal mixture. Heat, stirring, until well-mixed and melty. Add more water if necessary. Consistency should be liquidy.
3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and quickly stir to mix with a rubber spatula. When well-incorporated and slightly cooled, add carob.
4. Press into a 13 x 9 inch pan. Press hard. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight. Cut into bars.
