DIY Breakfast Bars
Yield: about 8 bars
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cereal – I used 1 cup of Special K and 1 cup of Multi-Grain Cheerios but you can pick your favorites. I think something like Kashi Go Lean would be great for on the go since it is packed with protein and has a nice crunch to it.
  • ½ cup oats
  • ½ cup dried fruit
  • ½ cup nuts
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup peanut butter or any other nut butter
  • ½ tsp salt (if using salted nuts, dont add salt)
Instructions
  1. Line an 8” square cake pan with parchment paper (or if you are like me and don’t have a square cake pan, be creative! I used a square-ish Tupperware container). Spray parchment with oil and set aside.
  2. Combine cereal, oats, nuts and dried fruit in a medium-sized bowl, tossing to evenly distribute everything.
  3. In a small pot over medium heat, combine the honey and nut butter of choice. While it is heating up whisk the two together until smooth. You just want to warm up the honey to thin it out a bit so when you start to see some bubbles around the sides, turn off the heat.
  4. Pour over the cereal and with a spatula, toss everything until all of the dry ingredients are evenly coated. Spread into prepared pan, fold excess parchment over top and press firmly to flatten. Refrigerate for at least an hour, until set.
  5. Cut into whatever size and shape you would like!
