Super easy to make, and super difficult to resist! These bars are perfect for those with peanut allergies, or those who are allergic to spending hours in the kitchen. It will only take you 10 minutes to mix up the oats, almond butter, honey and rice cereal. Here's the recipe and instructions to make it.

Prep time: 10 mins
Yields: 12 bars

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats, ground into a flour
• ½ cup quick oats
• �...� cup vanilla protein powder (I used whey)
• ½ cup crispy rice cereal
• ½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
• �...� cup honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  Optional: 2-3 Tbsp. chocolate chips for melting

Directions

1. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine oat flour, quick oats, protein powder, and crispy rice cereal. Mix until well combined and set aside.
2. In a small pan over medium heat, add almond butter and honey, stirring until the almond butter is melted and fully combined with the honey. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Remove from heat and pour into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is fully combined.
4. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Using a spatula or your hands, spread the mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down firmly.*
5. Optional: place chocolate into a microwave safe bowl and nuke on high in 20 second intervals, mixing between each. When chocolate is fully melted, drizzle over the top of the packed mix using a spoon.
6. Place pan into fridge and allow to cool for ~30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Notes
* Make sure to press the mixture into the pan very firmly or the bars may fall apart.
