Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups healthy cereal I use Purely Elizabeth or Ezekiel cereal
1 cup almond butter creamy, natural
1 cup dried figs
⅓ cup hemp seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
¾ cup dark chocolate chips melted
freeze dried raspberries for topping

Instructions

Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients, except dark chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries, to a food processor and blend for a couple minutes to combine. Everything should be crushed, emulsified, and a “dough” should form.
Empty the food processor contents into the 9x9 baking pan and use your fingers to press the dough down flat.
Freeze for 10-15 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
Remove the bars from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate over top. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer.
Sprinkle on crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
Freeze for 30 minutes before slicing and storing in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!

Notes

Use a creamy, runny almond butter for the best texture in these bars.

Any kind of healthy, low-sugar, crunchy cereal will work.

Choose dark chocolate over milk to keep these bars healthy and low in sugar.

Substitute any seeds you prefer. For example, flax seeds instead of hemp and sunflower seeds instead of pumpkin.
