• In a small microwave safe bowl, add SunButter, brown rice syrup, date syrup, and coconut oil. Mix to combine, and then microwave for 30 seconds, or until the mixture begins to bubble. Stir well, and then microwave for another 15-20 seconds until it's bubbling again. This can also be done on a stovetop if you do not want to use a microwave.
• Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir well to fully coat.
• Add desired mix ins. If you have other creative ideas, use whatever you'd like. If using chocolate chips, do not mix until you have the mixture in the 8x8 pan and the mixture has cooled, otherwise the chocolate chips will melt. When I add chocolate chips, I add the mixture to the pan, slightly flatten it with my hands, and then allow it to cool a few more minutes before I sprinkle on frozen chocolate chips, and then press them inches.
