Ingredients
1 1/2 c. puffed millet
1 1/2 c. puffed kamut
1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
3/4 c. dried sour cherries, roughly chopped
3/4 c. toasted coconut
3/4 c. chopped toasted almonds
1/2 c. almond butter
1/2 c. brown rice syrup
2 Tbsp. EVOO
1/2 tsp. salt
1 oz. semisweet chocolate, optional
Instructions
Line a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly greased with baking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine puffed millet, puffed kamut, ground flaxseed, dried cherries, coconut and almonds. Stir to evenly distribute.
In a small sauce pan, add the almond butter, brown rice syrup, EVOO and salt. Warm over medium low heat, stirring until warmed through and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not let it get to a simmer or boil. Remove from the heat and drizzle over the dry ingredients. Stir with a large rubber spatula and fold until everything is evenly combined. Press firmly into the prepared pan with greased hands or greased spatula until you have a compacted even layer. Cover and let set for at least one hour until set and ready to cut into bars.
If desired, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Immediately drizzle the warmed chocolate over the cut bars and let set until hardened.
