Sunflower Butter Cereal Bars Recipe

Name: Sunflower Butter Cereal Bars
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 4 cups of toasted oats cereal (gluten-free brand); ½ cup dried berries (cranberries, blueberries, etc.); 1 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds; 1/2 cup pure raw honey (a bit more if needed); ½ - 1 cup* creamy sunflower butter (I use SunButter)

Ingredients

4 cups of toasted oats cereal (gluten-free brand)
½ cup dried berries (cranberries, blueberries, etc.)
1 cup roasted, salted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pure raw honey (a bit more if needed)
½ - 1 cup* creamy sunflower butter (I use SunButter)

Instructions

Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cereal, dried berries, and sunflower seeds. Mix well.
In a pot over medium heat, use a hand whisk to constantly stir honey and sunflower butter until completely smooth and fully incorporated, about 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat as soon as mixture turns smooth and "silky." It should not boil/be overcooked, or else the mixture may "seize" and lose its ability to stick well. Let mixture cool 3-5 min.
Pour honey mixture over the dry cereal mixture, tossing to coat really well.
Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. You'll need to really press hard so mixture adheres; be sure to firmly press down the sides and corners also. Cover and chill in fridge several hours before cutting into bars.
