Buckwheat No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

[Dry (use scant measurements)]
1 3/4 c rolled oats
3/4 c raw buckwheat groats
1/4 c pumpkin seeds
1/4 c sunflower seeds
1/4 c chia seeds
1/4 c unsweetened coconut
1/8 c finely ground flaxseed

[Wet (use generous measurements)]
1/2 c brown rice syrup
1/3 C creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Mix together the wet ingredients in a separate, microwave safe, bowl.

Microwave the wet ingredients for approx. 20-30 seconds or until they mix together easily (this will make the ingredients easier to mix).

Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well until everything is well distributed

Place the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten down.

Cut them into bars (will make 10 to 12). No worries if they’re still crumbly, they’ll bind in the fridge.

Store them in the fridge—either in the pan or in individual wrappers.

Enjoy! Makes 12 servings
