1cupnatural peanut butter (or other natural nut or seed butter)
6cupscrispy brown rice cereal
Instructions
Add pitted dates, 1/2 cup warm water and vanilla to food processor. Let soak for 20 minutes.
While soaking the dates, add peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl and add brown rice cereal to a large mixing bowl. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Puree dates, water and vanilla until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
Add date mixture to peanut butter and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine. If mixture is not runny, microwave for another 15-20 seconds.
While hot, pour date mixture over brown rice cereal. Stir until all cereal is covered.
Pour mixture into parchment-lined pan and firmly press until flat and even. This can be done with a spatula or your hands. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
Store in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Best when served right out of the freezer. I used this Parchment Paper and this Food Processor. *Note these are affiliate links
