Description

These homemade easy cereal bars are a quick and healthy breakfast or snack recipe the whole family will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cereal of choice
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1/2 cup agave, honey, or brown rice syrup
  • optional 1/2 tsp salt
  • optional 3 tbsp protein powder

Instructions

1. Line an 8-inch pan with wax or parchment paper (or double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan).

2. If needed, gently warm nut butter until easily stirrable.

3. Stir all ingredients in a large bowl.

4. Pour the cereal mixture into the pan.

5. Place a second sheet of parchment over top, and press the cereal down firmly into the pan.

6. Freeze for a half hour or until firm enough to slice into bars.

7. Cover leftovers. Store in the refrigerator or freezer or on the counter in a cool, dry place.

Notes

  • You can use sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips, chia seeds, or chopped dried fruit are great for variety.
  • If your bars are too soft, freeze them longer or press them more firmly.
