Ingredients
1 1/2 cups popped amaranth7 1/2 cups rolled oats1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut1/4 cup poppy seeds1 cup sesame seeds1 cup flaxseed meal1 cup chocolate or carob chips1 cup brown sugar1 cup honey 1 cup water1 1/2 cups peanut butter3 TBSP vanilla
To pop amaranth, heat a skillet until it gets good and hot, place 2 TBSP amaranth in the pan and put the lid on. If the pan is hot enough, it will start popping almost immediately when you put it in the pan. Pop for about 30 seconds, shaking the pan the whole time. Be careful, it burns VERY quickly.)
In a sauce pan, heat the water, brown sugar, and honey until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat, and add the peanut butter and vanilla.
Incorporate into the dry ingredients.
Add chocolate chips last (otherwise, they'll likely melt), mix everything very well.
Put mixture into cookie sheets or large pans that are either greased or nonstick, and pat down very well.
Place in freezer for 5-10 minutes (or fridge for 10-20), and cut into bars.
