- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1.25 c. Kashi GoLean Cereal1 c. quick oats2 tbsp. ground flax seed3 servings soy protein powder.5 tsp. cinnamon.25 c. semisweet chocolate chips2 tbsp. chopped walnuts2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds6 tbsp. peanut butter2 tbsp. applesauce (unsweetened).25 c. honey1 tsp. vanilla extract
*Add applesauce with honey and nut butter step; add protein powder with dry ingredients.
Combine the rice cereal, oats, flaxseed meal, dried fruit, and nuts in a large bowl.
Combine the syrup and nut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and well-blended (alternatively microwave in small microwave-safe bowl 30-60 seconds until melted). Stir in vanilla until blended.
Pour nut butter mixture over cereal mixture, stirring until coated (use a wooden spoon at first, then get your hands in it. It will be sticky, but this way you can really coat everything. Just scrape off your hands when you're done).
Let stand 10 minutes, then add chocolate chips.
Press mixture firmly into an 8-inch square pan (sprayed with nonstick cooking spray) using a large square of wax paper (really tamp it down). Cool in pan on a wire rack and chill at least 30 minutes to help it set. Cut into 12 bars. (Wrap bars tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator).
