Ingredients

  • 3 cups oat cereal
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Heat the peanut butter and the honey in a medium-size sauce pan over low heat and stir to combine.
  • Add the oat cereal to the mix gently until all the pieces are coated.
  • Layer an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and pour the cereal into the prepared pan.  Smooth with a spatula until flat.
  • Refrigerate the cereal bars for one hour until firm.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cereal bars.  Enjoy.

Notes

If you prefer a nut-free version, you can use sun butter, which is made up of sunflower seeds. 
If adding nuts, dried fruit or chocolate chips, let the peanut butter mixture cool slightly before adding the cereal and chocolate chips.  Add a few extra chips on the top as they may melt.
