No Bake Breakfast Bars

Thanks to my dear friends over at Indy Vegan Family, Wade and Jenny Wingler, the hubs and I can enjoy some yummy - and quite healthy - breakfast bars that are SUPER easy to make. These are a great on-the-go breakfast bar and are a great alternative to snack on when you have a serious sweet tooth! 

Side note: we've tweaked the original Indy Vegan Family recipe just slightly to better suit the needs of our {taste} buds. 

Oh, and sorry for the terrible photos. I just snapped these real quick with my iphone camera so they're not the best quality. 

Ingredients needed:

• 2 cups of uncooked quick oats
• 1 1/2 cups of puffed rice 
• 2 tablespoons of milled flax seeds 
• 3 tablespoons of chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons of pink himalayan crystal salt 
• 1/2 cup of organic agave syrup
• 2 teaspoons of locally produced honey 
• 1 cup of peanut butter 
• 2 tablespoons of almond butter
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 
• 1/2 cup of MCT oil (coconut oil) 
• 1/2 cup of organic dark chocolate chips 

Directions: 

Mix dry ingredients together first (oats, puffed rice, flax seeds, chia seeds, salt and chocolate chips) . Then, add in the remaining ingredients and stir until sticky and starting to form in a clump. 

Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 pan (it makes it easier to get the mixture out of the pan to cut) and press evenly filling half or three-fourths of the pan. Freeze for 2 hours. When frozen, remove from pan, cut into  squares and wrap in foil or place in glass storage containers and put back into freezer until ready to eat. 

FYI...If the bars sit out for too long, they will become mushy. 

Enjoy, friends! 

Until next time....stay rooted!
