GLUTEN FREE ENERGY BARS
From cooks.com
3/4 cup peanut butter or cashew butter
3/4 cup liquid sweetener (honey or agave syrup)
1 1/2 cups raw nuts or seeds
1 cup dried fruit
4 cups GF Rice Crispies cereal (I used gluten-free)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place nuts and/or roasted seeds (almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc) and dried fruit
(cherries, cranberries, blueberries, apricots, pineapple, raisins - any favorite dried fruits in any combination) in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse
several times, just until the mixture is coarsely ground.
In a large saucepan, melt nut butter with liquid sweetener over medium low heat. Stir and watch carefully to prevent scorching. When the mixture is smooth
and bubbling, cook for about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add salt and vanilla and stir to combine. Use a large spatula to stir in nuts, dried fruit and
cereal. Stir until all ingredients are coated with nut butter mixture.
Scrape mixture on to the prepared baking sheet. Use the spatula to evenly spread the mixture on the pan. Place a large piece of waxed paper over the mixture
and use a rolling pin to smooth the top of the mixture.
Cover with the waxed paper and refrigerate for about 2 hours before cutting the energy bars into whatever sizes you prefer. Wrap bars in waxed paper and
store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
