It all started with an introduction to Wild Friends. I received a package of Wild Friends products and my head immediately began to spin with recipe ideas.
First of all we’re talking about nut and seed butters. That alone is winning. Add the unique variety of all natural flavors and you have a smorgasbord of fabulous recipe ingredients.
Seriously, check out some of the flavor combinations, chocolate coconut, vanilla espresso, and sesame cranberry. All just waiting to be added to a favorite recipe.
The unique flavors of Wild Friends are a fun way to change things up with your favorite recipes. Imagine a PBJ with Organic Chocolate Sunflower Butter or peanut butter cookies with cinnamon raisin peanut butter. See where I’m going with this.
Because I know it’s important to us all. A little about Wild Friends ingredients:

PEANUT-FREE OPTIONS – The almond and sunflower butters are made in a separate facility and do not contain peanuts.

The nutbutter of choice for this recipe was a toss up between the chocolate almond butter with crunchy almond pieces or the vanilla espresso. The vanilla espresso won out. This time.
Healthy, quick and portable homemade granola bars. Perfect for traveling, an after school snack or snacking on the go. Gluten free. Dairy free.

- 1/3 cup brown rice syrup

- Remove the pot from the heat. Immediately add the cereal, oat flour, cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Stir until blended and dry ingredients are evenly coated with the syrup mixture.
- Using a nonstick spatula or hands dampened with water (to prevent sticking) press the mixture evenly into the pan.
