5-minute granola

5-minutes is all you need to make this nutritious snack - how can you beat that?! Added bonus... this recipe is also raw and vegan.

(makes about 10-12 bars)
Ingredients:
Dry (use scant measurements):
1 & 3/4 C rolled oats
1 C crisp puffed brown rice cereal
1/4 C pumpkin seeds
1/4 C sunflower seeds
1/4 C chia seeds
1/4 C unsweetened coconut
1/8 C finely ground flaxseed

Wet (use generous measurements):
1/2 C brown rice syrup
1/3 C creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix them together.

2. In a separate (microwave safe) bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, then microwave them for about 20 to 30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix and add to the dry ingredients since it’s really sticky!

3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix! Keep mixing until the wet binding ingredients are as well distributed as possible. Put some muscle into it!

4. Then, put the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten it down. Done and done!
