Recipes FAQ

Can I use regular rice instead of puffed brown rice?

No, you cannot use regular rice in this recipe. Puffed brown rice is lighter and crunchier than regular rice, which is why it works best for this recipe.

Can I use other sweeteners besides honey?

Yes, you can use maple syrup, agave nectar, or any other liquid sweetener of your choice.

Can I freeze these bars?

Yes, you can freeze these bars for up to 3 months. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to press the mixture firmly into the baking pan to ensure that the bars hold together.
  • If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or almond butter to help bind it together.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more puffed brown rice to help absorb the excess moisture.
  • You can use any combination of nuts and dried fruits that you like. Try using cashews, almonds, pecans, raisins, cranberries, or apricots.
