Ingredients


24 almond Almonds, raw (Roughly chopped)
20 halves Apricot, dried (Thinly sliced)
6 tbsp Coconut flakes, unsweetened
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup Honey
2 1/2 cup Oat bran, dry
1 tbsp Peanut butter, powder (2 Tbsp. ready-mixed)
7 cup Popcorn, air-popped, unsalted
2 tbsp Rolled oats, dry
1/4 tsp Salt
1/3 cup Raisins, seedless (sultana)
1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract, pure
1 scoop Whey protein powder, vanilla

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Lightly spray a rectangular baking pan (9” x 13”) with cooking oil. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, bran cereal, oats, raisins, coconut, protein powder, almonds, and dried fruit. Stir well.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine brown rice syrup, honey, vanilla, PB2, and salt. Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn mixture, and stir until all ingredients are coated.
  3. Transfer mixture to the greased baking pan. Use slightly wet hands to firmly press the mixture into the baking pan (or cover with parchment paper to keep your fingers from getting sticky).
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into 20 equal-sized bars.
