• 4 cups crispy rice cereal*
• 1/2 cup protein powder (~40g)
• 1/4 cup creamy nut butter**
• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 1/2 cup brown rice syrup***
• Optional: 2-3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, for drizzling

Directions

• Prepare a 8x8 baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cereal and protein powder. Set aside.
• In a small pan over medium-high heat, add almond butter, coconut oil, and brown rice syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning, before removing from heat and allowing to cool slightly.
• Pour nut and syrup mixture into the cereal mix. Stir until everything is fully combined and all the cereal is well coated.
• Transfer to prepared baking dish. Using the spatula or your hands, spread the mixture evenly in the pan, pressing down firmly.

• Place pan into fridge and allow to cool for ~30 minutes before cutting into squares.
