Ingredients

2 cups puffed rice
2 1⁄2 cups puffed millet
4 1⁄2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raisins
3⁄4 cup sunflower seeds, toasted
3⁄4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
1⁄2 cup flax seeds
3⁄4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
1 cup mini chocolate chips
3⁄4 cup honey
3⁄4 cup maple syrup
3 cups (24 oz) natural peanut butter

Instructions

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to coat everything in peanut butter.
Prepare a 12x18-inch sheet pan by lightly brushing it with canola oil.
Spread the well-mixed ingredients into the prepared pan and smooth evenly with a spatula.
It’s a stiff mixture, to really push it together, cover with parchment or wax paper and roll it into place with a rolling pin.
Chill or freeze before cutting into squares.

Notes

This is a no bake granola bar, but I have found that it is easy to blend it together if the oatmeal has been toasted and it’s still a little warm.

This can be made with sunbutter or almond butter instead of peanut butter
