Provided by Amanda @ Running with Spoons

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (160 g) brown rice syrup (or honey if not vegan)
2 Tbsp (32 g) sunflower seed butter*
1 Tbsp (14 g) coconut oil
3/4 cup (60 g) old fashioned oats
1/2 cup (15 g) crispy rice cereal
1/2 cup (17 g) pretzels, crushed**
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (80 g) dried fruit (I used raisins and cranberries)
1/2 cup (70 g) pumpkin seeds***
1/3 cup (60 g) chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Line an 8×8 (20×20 cm) baking pan with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving a few inches of overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal. Generously spray the foil with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Add brown rice syrup, sunflower seed butter, and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and nuke on high until ingredients are fully melted and combined, about 1 minute. Remove from microwave and allow to cool and thicken.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring until evenly distributed. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Transfer mixture to prepared pan and use a spatula or your hands to spread it evenly, making sure to press down firmly. Cover pan with a sheet of foil and place into the fridge to set, at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. When bars have set, remove from pan using the foil overhang, and use a sharp knife to cut into individual bars. Store bars in the fridge or freezer for best results.

NO-BAKE TRAIL MIX SNACK BARS



No-Bake Trail Mix Snack Bars image

I am an avid road biker and hiker. Through a lot of trial and error, I have finally perfected a homemade no-bake trail mix bar that stays crunchy. The marshmallows allow the bars to stay stuck together. Other no-bake recipes I have tried always have crumbled as soon as you cut them.
