Preparation

Step 1

1. Line 9-inch square baking pan with two pieces of parchment paper (one going each way).

2. Combine oats, rice cereal, pecans, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Set aside.

3. Stir together brown rice syrup and almond butter in small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, or until mixture softens and bubbles slightly. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.

4. Pour almond butter mixture over oats mixture, and stir until oats mixture is coated. (It will be very thick and difficult to stir.) Spread mixture in prepared pan. Lightly wet hands, and press down on mixture to even out. Use pastry roller to compact mixture firmly and evenly, if desired.

5. Lift oat square out of pan in one piece using parchment paper as handles, and place on cutting board. Slice into 12 bars with pizza cutter or serrated knife. Wrap bars individually in plastic wrap or foil. Store up to two weeks in refrigerator or one month in freezer.
