Millet Bars Or Squares (Dairy, Gluten and Nut Free)

I really think variety is important in our diet.  We eat a variety of fruits and vegetables but I also like eating a variety of grains.  I saw these Millet Puffs in the store the other day and was reminded of bars I used to make.  In the past I used nut butter but I wanted these to be safe for school so I used coconut oil instead.  Very tasty! Ingredients

• 2 cups puffed millet
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 c ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey, agave or maple syrup

Directions

1. Grease a 9 x 9 dish.
2. In a large bowl combine puffed millet, coconut, sunflower seeds and flax seeds.
3. In a small bowl combine vanilla, salt, coconut oil and honey. Pour over millet mixture and stir to fully combine.
4. Add chocolate chips and stir them into the millet mixture. (If your coconut oil is too warm as mine was, the chocolate chips will melt in)
5. Flatten into 9 x 9 dish.
6. Cover and let harden in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
7. Cut into bars and serve.
