Ingredients

• 1 cup corn syrup
• 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips, divided
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup chopped cashews
• 2 cups gluten-free oatmeal

Directions

Mix syrup and peanut butter in a saucepan over low heat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat. Stir about half the chocolate chips into the syrup mixture.

Mix remaining chocolate chips, almonds, cashews, oatmeal, crispy rice cereal, and flax seed meal in a bowl.
