Ingredients

3/4 cup brown rice syrup
3/4 cup cashew or almond butter
2 tablespoon vegan butter spread, preferably earth balance
7 cup brown rice cereal, preferably organic
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup dried strawberries
1/2 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the syrup, almond butter, and butter spread over low heat until well incorporated. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Combine the wet and dry mixture and stir to coat well.
Using wet hands, spread the cereal mixture in a 9-inch square baking pan. Press down firmly, ensuring evenness. Place the bars in the freezer for about 1 hour. Cut the mixture into bars. Store in the refrigerator.
