2Tbspground flaxseed
120gpeanut butter(1/2 cup) or other nut butter, pure, no added oil or sugar
Line a large 8" or 9" loaf tin with baking paper/parchment paper.
In a big mixing bowl, add the breakfast flakes, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix them evenly.
In another bowl, add peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix them to combine.
Add the syrup-oil mixture to the flakes. Use a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula to mix and roughly crush the flakes.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin. Use the spatula to press the mixture down against the tin firmly.
Pop the tin into the freezer for 1 hour or until the mixture is fully set.
Take the tin out from the freezer. Grab the baking paper on the sides to lift the breakfast bars up. Use a big sharp knife to cut them into bars. Melt the dark chocolate to drizzle on top if you want. And enjoy!
