1/4 cup agave or maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut milk (carton)

1 cup oats
1 cup corn flakes, pounded to large crumbs
1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
1/4 cup shredded coconut

Here are the 9 easy steps to make these yummy Ginger Vanilla Protein Crunch Bars:

In saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter, whisk in agave.

Add milk and protein powder, whisk together until smooth.

In large bowl, add oats, corn flakes, almonds, sunflower seeds and about 3/4 ginger pieces.

Pour melted butter mixture over dry ingredients, mix together thoroughly.

Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment or foil, spray.

Transfer mixture into pan; using wet hands, press down in even layer.
