Ingredients
- 4 cups toasted oats cereal gluten-free brand
- ½ cup dried berries cranberries, blueberries, etc.
- 1 cup sunflower seeds roasted, salted
- ⅔ cup honey a bit more if needed, pure raw
- ½ - ⅔ cup sunflower butter I use SunButter, creamy
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cereal, dried berries, and sunflower seeds. Mix well.
- In a pot over medium heat, use a hand whisk to constantly stir honey and sunflower butter until completely smooth and fully incorporated, about 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat as soon as mixture turns smooth and "silky." It should not boil/be overcooked, or else the mixture may "seize" and lose its ability to stick well. Let mixture cool 3-5 min.
- Pour honey mixture over the dry cereal mixture, tossing to coat really well.
- Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. You'll need to really press hard so mixture adheres; be sure to firmly press down the sides and corners also. Cover and chill in fridge several hours before cutting into bars.
Notes
- *I use 1/2 cup creamy sunflower butter, but if your cereal mixture needs more to stick, you can use 2/3 cup
