Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper with a thin layer of coconut oil so the treats release easily.

2. Melt the Peanut Butter and Coconut Oil

Warm the peanut butter and coconut oil in a small pot over low heat. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Flaxseed and Cinnamon

Stir in the flaxseed and cinnamon, if using, until well mixed. These add a soft boost of flavor and nutrition.

4. Coat the Rice Cereal

Place the puffed rice cereal in a large bowl. Pour the warm mixture over the top and fold slowly until every piece is coated.

5. Press the Mixture

Transfer the mixture to your lined pan. Press firmly using parchment paper or a flat spatula so the bars hold their shape.

6. Chill

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the squares firm up for clean cutting.

7. Slice Into Squares

 

Lift out the chilled mixture and cut into small, bite-sized squares perfect for training and daily snacking.
