  • Take a large bowl and mix oats, rice cereal, flaxseed meal, nuts and dried fruit properly in it.
  • Put Nut butter and syrup in a saucepan, and put it in medium heat. Keep stirring it until it melts properly and is well-blended.
  • Now put some vanilla extract into the syrup and nut butter mixture, blend it well.

  • Place the pan in the refrigerator, so that the mixture sets.
  • Cut the mixture in 12 bars and enjoy eating a healthy homemade clif bar.
