Author Sammi Brondo

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup all bran flakes
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Line a 6 x 7.5 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
  • Pour the cereal into a bag and, using your hands, crush until small pieces remain.
  • Add the cereal to the bowl with the peanut butter mixture and fold in until it’s well combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly throughout. Using your hands or the back of a spoon, press the mixture down so it’s tightly packed in the baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture, using a spoon to spread it evenly.
  • Place in the fridge to harden for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove from the fridge and cut into 8 squares (optional: sprinkle with salt before cutting).
