Gluten Free chewy granola bars

I have been asked to come up with a chewy granola bar option for celiac's. 
6 ingredients, that is all you need for these scrumptious bars. Quick and easy to make. A great option for a snack to help you get through to the next meal. I hope you enjoy them as much as Taylor does!
1 cup blanched slivered almonds

1 1/2 cups erewhon twice rice puffed cereal

1 1/4 cups gluten free rolled oats ( I used Bob's Red Mill)

1 cup dried cranberries

1 cup Agave Nectar -or- coconut nectar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray an 8-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant and golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Transfer the almonds to a large bowl. Add the rice cereal, rolled oats, cranberries

and mix well.

Combine the agave nectar, and vanilla Mix thoroughly. 

Pour the syrup into the rice-oat mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.

Transfer the warm mixture to a baking dish lined with parchment paper and pack lightly with a spatula greased with cooking spray.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Let cool for at least 45 minutes before cutting into bars.

Store in an airtight container.
