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: 1/2 tsp salt
Optional: 3 tbsp protein powder
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter and agave (or honey) over low heat, stirring occasionally.
-
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the optional salt and protein powder, if using.
-
Add the cereal to the mixture and stir until it is fully coated.
-
Line a baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the mixture into the dish. Press down firmly to create an even layer.
-
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
-
Once set, cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
Store these cereal bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
For a nut-free option, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
These bars are best consumed fresh and are not ideal for freezing.
Customize with chocolate chips, dried fruit, or seeds for added flavor.
