How to Make Fruit Honey And Coconut Energy Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the puffed brown rice cereal, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and honey until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the dried cherries and coconut (or your chosen substitute) to the peanut butter mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir gently until all the cereal is coated.
  6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the bars are set.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars and enjoy!
