- Line an 8X8-baking pan with parchment paper leaving a couple inches overhanging on the sides.

- Whisk brown rice syrup, almond butter, and sugar (if using) in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, heat it over medium heat until they are all fully combined and melted, a minute or two. It should be a very smooth mixture.

- Place it in the fridge for 2 hours, or preferably, overnight.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, take the block of granola out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut it into smaller pieces.
- Individually wrap them in wax or parchment paper and keep them in an airtight container.
