Cake Batter Energy Bars

Even though I have yet to taste anything that actually tastes like cake batter other than cake better itself, I felt the need to make the following recipe that I found online. While the recipe does not live up to its expectations, the bars are pretty delicious and are filled with some great ingredients. And they are pretty cute, no?

Make the bars: Combine rice krispies, oat flour, and salt in a bowl and stir. In a separate large bowl, combine vanilla, cashew butter, and agave and stir to form a thin paste. Make sure that the cashew butter is room temperature, not out of the refrigerator. 

Pour dry ingredients into the wet and stir until well coated. 

Line a dish with a piece of parchment or wax paper and pour the mixture into the dish. Using an extra piece of paper, press down as hard as you can to flatten the mixture and create an even layer. According to the recipe, the mixture will fill a 7×5, or about 2/3 of an 8×8. Place the bars in the freezer to harden before cutting and eating.

1 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup Oat Flour (I made my own by grinding oats in the coffee/nut grinder until they turn into a fine powder)
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
3 tbsp Cashew Butter
5 tbsp Agave 

Optional:
Sprinkles
