• Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
• Mix the oats, rice cereal, protein powder, pecans, pepitas, raisins, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a small pot, melt the brown rice syrup and peanut butter over medium heat until thoroughly mixed together. Once it starts to bubble, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula until well-coated — it'll be very thick and hard to stir, so this may take a few minutes.
• Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly with the spatula until it's spread evenly.
• Transfer the pan to your freezer to chill for 10 minutes until firm.
• Using the parchment paper as handles, lift the square bar out of the pan and onto a cutting board. With a large knife, cut the square in half. Then cut each half into five or six bars (to yield 10 or 12 rectangular-shaped bars).
• Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for up to two months.

You can cut these into 10 or 12 rectangles, depending on how big you prefer your bars.
