These bars from the Plant-Powered Families cookbook are endlessly adaptable—simply add in your favorite crunchy nuts, spices, drizzles, or dried fruit. To keep it nut-free and allergen-friendly, try a seedy-and-chocolaty version with hemp seeds and cocoa powder, or a fruity, spiced version with dried cranberries and nutmeg and allspice.
What you need:
½ cup brown rice syrup¼ packed cup coconut butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon cinnamon1 cup rolled oats¼ cup oat flour2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut1½ cups brown rice crisp cereal3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
What you do:
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add brown rice syrup, coconut butter, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined and coconut butter has melted, then reduce heat to low. Add rolled oats, and stir through, cooking for 3 minutes.
