List of Ingredients
1/4 cup raw or toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup shelled peanuts
salt
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups 1-minute rolled cereal (oats, quinoa, poha, etc.)
2 cups puffed rice cereal (hs note: I used puffed brown rice cereal)
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the sunflower seeds and the peanuts in an even layer on separate
baking sheets and toast in the oven - the sunflower seeds will take about 6
minutes and the peanuts will take 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool;
salt the peanuts lightly.
Mix the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, raisins, rolled cereal, and
puffed rice in a large bowl. In a separate bowl that fits your microwave,
mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup; microwave on high for 2
minutes. Add the vanilla extract and stir until well blended. Pour over the
dry ingredients and fold in until everything is evenly coated.
Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan and transfer the mixture from the bowl.
Cover the surface with waxed paper and press it down firmly. Refrigerate
until completely cool. Cut into eight 2x4-inch bars.
