These homemade cereal bars are a quick, nutritious snack made with your choice of cereal, nut butter, and a natural sweetener. Perfect for on-the-go energy or a tasty treat, they are customizable with optional salt and protein powder for extra flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp protein powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch pan with wax or parchment paper. For a larger batch, double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Warm Nut Butter: Gently warm the nut butter if necessary until it becomes easily stirrable, ensuring it mixes well with other ingredients.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the cereal, nut butter, sweetener (agave, honey, or brown rice syrup), and any optional ingredients like salt or protein powder until evenly combined.
  4. Press Mixture: Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top and press the mixture down firmly to compact it, which helps the bars hold their shape.
  5. Chill Bars: Freeze the pan for about 30 minutes or until the mixture is firm enough to slice into bars.
  6. Store: After cutting, store leftover bars covered in the refrigerator, freezer, or in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use your favorite cereal flavor for a personalized taste.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly is crucial to prevent bars from crumbling.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount or type of sweetener used.
  • The bars can be stored at room temperature if kept in a cool, dry place, but refrigeration extends shelf life.
  • Add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or seeds can be mixed in for extra texture and nutrition.
  • If using protein powder, ensure it blends well with the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
