Ingredients

  • 60 grams (2.12 ounces) puffed rice (rice krispies (bubbles))
  • ¾ cup (75 grams, 2.65 ounces) old fashioned oats (rolled oats)
  • ¼ cup (40 grams, 1.41 ounces) pepitas seeds (pumpkin seeds)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons (40 grams, 1.41 ounces) dried fruit of choice roughly chopped
  • 35 grams (1.24 ounces) butter melted
  • 3 ½ tablespoons (74 grams, 2.61 ounces) honey softened

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grease and line a slice tin (17cm x 27 cm, 6.69 inches x 10.62 inches) with parchment paper on the bottom and sides. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the puffed rice, oats, pepitas seeds, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and dried fruit.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the melted butter and honey. Then mix the honey and butter with the dry ingredients.
  4. Place mixture into prepared slice tin. Press gently down to flatten the top of the mixture. You can smooth the top of the mixture by using the back of a spoon or spatula. Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  5. Allow the slice to cool completely in slice tin before removing. Once cool cut into bars the size of your liking.

Notes

  • If you want to add chocolate on top of your puffed rice cereal bars you could:
  • Melt 250 grams (8.81 ounces) of chocolate chips and then pour the melted chocolate over the top of your puffed rice cereal bars while it is still in the slice tin after baking.
  • Before the chocolate sets you could sprinkle some extra chocolate bits, chopped peanuts, or even hundreds and thousands.
