Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup puffed brown rice cereal
  • ½ cup chopped raw almonds
  • ⅓ cup shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • tiny pinch cayenne pepper
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Gather all your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 pan with butter and line with parchment paper.
  • Combine rolled oats, puffed brown rice cereal, almonds, coconut, cocoa powder, salt, and cayenne in a bowl.
  • Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vegetable oil, and water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir, and let the mixture boil for 1 minute.
  • Pour sugar mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan, and smooth out the top, pressing lightly with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. While still hot, use a spatula to score the pan into 8 portions.
  • Let cool to room temperature before breaking into bars. You can also not score, and simply let cool, then cut with a knife.
  • Serve and enjoy!
