Ingredients

3 cups cereal
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, or brown rice syrup
1 tbsp ground flax or hemp seeds (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Prep: line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper
Heat: in a large microwave-safe bowl, add in the peanut butter and agave nectar and heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Stir until combined.
Ingredients: add in the vanilla extract and stir. Add in the ground flax seeds and stir. Add in the cereal and stir until combined.
Press: pour the cereal mixture into the pan and then press until even. Using parchment paper or a plastic baggie, press the mixture firmly until the bars are even and condensed.
Toppings: add any toppings you are using (if any).
Chill: place the pan into the fridge and let chill for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best. Remove from the fridge and then cut into bars.
