Whole Grain Cereal Bars

Press crushed cereal with peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon into no-bake snack bars.

Prep time: 60 minutes

Cook time: n/a

Serving size: 6 cereal bars

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole grain cereal, such as whole grain Os
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut or nut butter
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Optional toppings: dried fruit, chocolate chips, crushed nuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut

Instructions

1. In a zip-top bag, add the cereal. Seal and gently crush until crumbled to the size you prefer.
2. Add the cereal to a bowl. Mix in peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon.
3. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the lined dish. Add toppings, if using.
