Millet Cranberry Bars

This was a winner. It has some similarities to rice crispy treats, yet healthier. It was a fun snack. It is a nice way to incorporate a new grain too. I also used Almond Butter in it. I hadn't bought it before. You can bring your own container into Good Earth. They will weigh the container, then you only pay for the Almond butter. I learn new tricks every day. I put cranberries in it, that I got from Good Earth as well. I really liked the consistency of the cranberries. They were softer than the ones you usually see, and not all the added sugar. They were yummy!
I found this cereal at Sunflower Market!

Ingredients:

1 C almond butter or creamy peanut butter
2/3 C honey
2 tsp vanilla
2 C oatmeal (I used old fashioned)
3 C puffed millet
1/2 dried cranberries or different dried fruit
1 tsp cinnamon (I used pumpkin spice)

Directions:

1. In a saucepan on the stove. Heat on med low heat butter and honey. Heat until a smooth consistency. Then stir in vanilla.

2. In a separate bowl mix the oatmeal and millet together with the cinnamon ,and cranberries. Pour the hot mixture on top. Mix until the cereal mixture is all covered.

3. Grease a 13x9 " pan. Pour the mixture in the pan. Flatten let harden a little. Cut into squares and wrap in plastic, and store in fridge. They are a nice snack for you to have when you are on the go. Enjoy!
