Vegan Energy Bars
This is adapted from a Lundberg Rice recipe. No sugar or HFCS here - this uses brown rice syrup instead. You can substitute any dried fruit in for the apricots such as cranberries, raisins, or dates and any nuts for the walnuts such as peanuts, almonds, or pecans. Lots of room for variation!!
