Ingredients
  

For The Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups rice puff cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsalted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios
  • 1/3 cup dried figs, chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried mulberries, chopped
  • 1/3 cup dried apricot, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

For The Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar – Optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8X8-baking pan with parchment paper leaving a couple inches overhanging on the sides.
  • Mix puff cereal, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, figs, mulberries, apricots, chia seeds, and coconut flakes in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk brown rice syrup, almond butter, and sugar (if using) in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, heat it over medium heat until they are all fully combined and melted, a minute or two. It should be a very smooth mixture.
  • Pour the hot mixture over the nuts and fruits mixture. Stir until all nuts and fruits are coated with the liquid mixture.
  • Transfer them into the lined pan. Spread them evenly. Using the back of a ramekin (or back of a spatula or spoon) press to make it compact.
  • Place it in the fridge for 2 hours, or preferably, overnight.
  • Using the overhanging parchment paper, take the block of granola out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut it into smaller pieces.
  • Individually wrap them in wax or parchment paper and keep them in an airtight container.

Notes

A Few helpful tips for the best healthy homemade kind bars

  • Can I make this without using any sugar? Absolutely. I personally find that the sugar amount that the dried fruits provide is more than enough. If you feel the same way, want to make homemade KIND bars with low sugar content, simply omit the 2 tablespoons of natural sugar used in the recipe.
  • Want your KIND Bars to be thinner? Simply, use a larger pan to make a greater quantity of less thick bars.
  • Can I drizzle them with chocolate? You sure can. To do so, melt your favorite chocolate in the microwave for 45 seconds or until it is fully melted and then drizzle your kind bars with it.
  • How Many Calories in a KIND Bar? These bars are 359 calories and only have 9 grams of sugar. They contain healthy fats from nuts and 6 grams of protein. See the printable homemade bar recipe at the bottom of the page for the full KIND breakfast bar nutrition information.
