Steps
Sequence Step
1Combine almond meal, flax meal, coconut, almond butter, oats, cereal, and peanut butter (and 1/4 tsp salt if your nut butters are salt-free). It helps to microwave it for about 1 minute to soften it up. Or you can use a food processor but that is messy.
2In a small microwave safe bowl, melt coconut oil. Stir in sweetener and vanilla into oil. (Note: for sweetener, you can use agave nectar, corn syrup, glucose syrup, maple syrup, honey, or anything you prefer.)
3Add coconut oil mixture to food processor and stir to form a coarse paste.
4Spread in 9x13 glass pan and refrigerate for one hour.
5Melt chocolate chips and spread on top of chilled mixture. Refrigerate again until hardened. Cut into small bars. A little goes a long way!
6Store bars in refrigerator because they can get soft at room temperature.
7The original recipe doubled the coconut oil but since I made a lot of tweaks to the recipe, and they seem too greasy with that much oil, I''ve cut it in half. I haven''t tried it this way yet. The original recipe did not have oats or rice cereal. It called for almonds instead of almond meal, to be ground in a food processor. Too fussy for me!
8Note about the rice cereal: This is optional. I used "Nature''s Path Organic Millet Rice Cereal with Oat Bran" - it has a small amount of sugar in it. I only use it for the crunch factor. Rice Krispies would be okay for that, but I don''t think puffed rice would be great. Have fun experimenting!
