Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1½ cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup crisp rice cereal (I like Erewhon Crisp Brown Rice)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries, finely minced
  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or butter)
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • pinch salt

Instruction

  • In a small saucepan, melt together coconut oil, brown rice syrup, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, almond, and salt. Let mixture cool slightly.
  • While syrup mixture is cooking, stir together oats, rice cereal, and dried cherries. Pour syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir to combine. (The mixture may seem a bit wet–Don’t worry!) Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Line an 8×8″ baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Pat granola mixture into the pan firmly. Allow to cool completely, 1-2 hours.
  • The granola bars will set as they cool. To speed things up, you can pop them in the refrigerator.
  • Slice and eat! Granola bars will keep covered for 4-5 days.
