Description
Healthy and naturally sweetened.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Special K Protein Flakes Or Other Flakes Of Choice
- 1 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
- ⅓ cups Mini Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (use Dark Chocolate For Healthier Option)
- ¼ cups Roasted, Unsalted Pumpkin Seeds (shelled)
- ⅔ cups Chopped Prunes Or Dried Plums
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
- 1 whole Egg White, Or Its Equivalent In Liquid Egg Whites
- ½ Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Generously coat an 8-cavity (each approximately 2 1/2” x 3 1/2”) mini loaf pan with cooking spray.
Place corn flakes in a plastic bag. Crush with fingers to get coarse crumbs. Place in a large bowl. Add the rice cereal, chocolate chips, and pumpkin seeds.
In a separate bowl, whisk the chopped prunes or plums, honey, agave, egg white, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring to thoroughly incorporate.
Pour batter into mini loaf pan. Press down firmly with fingers to compact cereal mixture. Each cavity should be just over half full. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. For softer and chewier bars, use the shorter baking time. Allow to cool and firm up 15 minutes before unmolding. Store in an airtight container.
Note: A 12-cavity muffin pan may be used. Adjust baking time for 9 to 11 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
