Directions

1. Line an 8-inch/20 cm square baking pan with parchment or waxed paper, letting it hang a bit over the sides. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the cereal, cranberries, cacao bits, coconut, and 3 tablespoons of the sesame seeds. Set aside.

3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond butter and coconut nectar, stirring until blended. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal mixture. Transfer the entire mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, pressing them to adhere, and refrigerate until firm, about an hour.

4. Use the parchment to transfer the bars from the baking pan to a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve.
