Rice bubble bar

Many fussy eaters enjoy rice bubbles and changing up the way they are served is always a positive.

Eating different versions of accepted foods helps to widen a child’s diet.

Home-made snacks are almost always better than bought ones as they tend to be less processed, and we can control the ingredients.

I made these with quite a few extra ingredients that don’t take away from the flavour but add nutrients.
I also tested them 3 different ways to tick boxes for most picky eaters.

Recipe – Rice bubble bar

1 cup rice bubbles
2 tsp sunflower seeds (ground) optional
2 tsp pepitas/pumpkin seeds (ground) optional
2 tsp linseeds (ground) optional
Or use 6 tsps of LSA instead of the ground seeds (all these are optional but disappear into the bar)
¼ tsp salt
15 g melted butter (or could use coconut oil for DF)
1 hpd tsp melted honey (or maple syrup)
1 hpd tsp peanut butter (or other nut butter). The flavour of the PB is noticeable. For nut-free swap the PB for 25gm of softened dates (these need to be chopped very finely and the taste is noticeable in the bar)

Optional

2 tsp cocoa powder for choc flavour

Method – Rice bubble bar

Heat oven to 140˚ fan forced or 160˚ without
Mix rice bubbles, ground seeds and salt in a bowl.
Soften butter, honey and peanut butter then add to the dry mixture.
Combine well.
Grease a small baking dish.
Press the mixture into the dish. It may seem a little crumbly but compact it down and push edges in.
Bake for 20 mins until beginning to brown.
Leave to set for a few hours. It takes time to firm.
Cut and serve or store.
Perfect for lunchboxes or snacks.
