bars - frosty no bake cakes

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1 large banana
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/4 cup crisp rice cereal
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1-2 tbsp cacao nibs (optional, but they give it a great crunch)
• 1-2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (optional, See notes below)
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• Shredded unsweet. coconut, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Mash banana in a medium sized bowl (I use a potato masher!). Add cocoa powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup and stir until fully mixed. Now stir in oats, cacao nibs, and rice crisp. Divide into 4 Glo Cakes by spooning the batter into a muffin liner or just in a muffin tin. I used an ungreased muffin tin and I had no problems getting them to come out. Sprinkle with coconut and place in the freezer for 60-80 minutes. Do not over-freeze them. You want them a bit chewy. They will however melt quite fast so please serve immediately.
