Description
Delicious homemade peanut butter cereal bars that are easy to make and perfect for a snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup smooth natural peanut butter (like Smucker’s Natural)
- ½ cup honey (or brown rice syrup)
- 3½ cups O cereal (like Cheerios)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides (which will make it easy to lift the bars out when it’s time to slice them).
- Add the peanut butter and honey to a large heat-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, or until easy to stir. (This may not be necessary if you keep your peanut butter and honey at room temperature.) Stir together to combine.
- Add the cereal and vanilla, if using, to the bowl. Stir gently, but thoroughly, using a wooden spoon or spatula. It may take a minute or so to get the mixture evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan, gently pressing evenly and into the corners.
- Chill for at least 20 minutes. Remove from the fridge, lift out using the parchment paper, and slice on a cutting board.
- Wrap each bar in plastic wrap (optional) and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve cold.
Notes
- These bars can be stored in the fridge for a week.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
