1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup rice crispies cereal
3 tablespoons cornmeal
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 9x9 inch square pyrex dish with parchment paper.
2. Combine the oats, rice crispies, cornmeal, salt and baking soda in a medium size mixing bowl.
3. In a glass measuring cup or microwave safe bowl mix the honey and canola (or coconut oil). Place in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir to melt the coconut butter then add the vanilla and brown sugar. Whisk to combine and then mix the wet with the dry ingredients.
4. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared pyrex dish that is lined with parchment paper, and press down hard.
5. Place in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The bars will be golden on top.
