Serves: 8

Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients for bar:

1 cup almond butter

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup almond milk

1 tsp. vanilla

2½ cups rolled oats

1 cup brown rice cereal

½ cup slivered almonds

½ cup dried cranberries

½ cup dark chocolate, chopped

Ingredients for drizzle:

¼ cup dark chocolate, melted

Begin by preheating the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients together, then add in all the remaining dry ingredients. Transfer the mixture into an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan lined with greased parchment paper.

Firmly press down on the mixture until it is one smooth layer. If you grease your spatula as well, it will prevent the mixture from sticking to it. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Drizzle the top with melted dark chocolate, and chill for 30 minutes, or until dark chocolate is solid. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Wrap each bar in parchment paper or foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
