1 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 tsp almond extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine the creamy almond butter, honey, and almond extract in a large mixing bowl.
Beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the rice crisp cereal, oats, and dried cranberries to the wet base.
