Soooo I wanted to share with you a recipe that I created inspired by my favorite after workout treat from a local coffee shop in Berkeley, California. They are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and fill me up after a long run or swim. I'm kinda obsessed...but really really.
Ohh btw, they won’t last long…because they are sooo good!
2 and ½ cups of rice cereal (you know, the kind that snap, crackle, pop)
3/4 cup of dried cranberries (or dried fruit of your choice!)
½ cup of rolled oats
1 cup creamy peanut butter (crunchy works as well!)
½ cup brown rice syrup
½ cup agave nectar
1 tsp. vanilla
In a large bowl, combine the rice cereal, dried cranberries, and oats. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, rice syrup, agave nectar, and vanilla, until melted. Pour over dry ingredients and mix with wooden spoon until combined. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan. Using clean hands, press down the mixture. Let “nap” for 1 hour in the fridge before slicing (if you can wait that long!) Enjoy as a snack or healthy dessert!
