I was just making these and realized I really should share this recipe. It’s so easy and yummy, and it can be gluten/casein-free or not! You can add lots of nutrion in different ways, and it can pack in lunches or picnics, too. Now that’s what I call a recipe that needs to be shared!
If you are gluten-free or GFCF, you’re going to use the appropriate ingredients, of course. When I have the money, I buy a box of Enjoy Life’s Crunchy Flax cereal. This adds a LOT of fiber and protein. You can also add two tablespoons of ground flax seed for a nutrition boost. Finally, you can add nutrition by the add-ins you use–walnuts, almonds, cranberries, etc.
Easy Cereal Bars:
1 c. Honey (Original recipe called for 1 1/4 c., but that was too sweet for me. Don’t go under 1 c., or it won’t hold together.)
1 c. Peanut butter
1 c. Oats (click here for how I save on g-free oats)
4 c. Puffed rice cereal or flax cereal (whole box)
2 c. add-ins of your choice (choc chips, nuts, dried fruit)
Melt honey and peanut butter in very large microwave-safe bowl or on low-medium heat on stove. Melt until well-mixed. Add in cereal and oats. Start mixing. Toss in add-ins. Finish mixing. Dump into 13×9 pan and spread. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes or more. Cut and store. Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap in individual bars and freeze if you like! Great for breakfast or snacks!
