Healthy Breakfast Bars
Healthy breakfast bars are so delicious and just 4 ingredients, with no baking needed. These wholesome bars are whole grain, naturally sweetened and perfect in the morning or as a snack for fueling a busy day!
Yield: 10 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup honey (or sub maple syrup)
- Splash of vanilla (optional)
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups O-shaped cereal (such as Cheerios)
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the honey and peanut butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until smooth and well combined. Turn off the heat.
- Add the vanilla, if using, then the oats and cereal. Stir well until everything is coated.
- Mix in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8 pan and press down into an even layer. (The mixture will be sticky so it helps to slightly wet your hands before you press it down.)
- Let cool then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to set up, about 1 hour.
- Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy! Store extras, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
