NO BAKE GRANOLA BARS



No Bake Granola Bars image

Great quick and easy granola bar recipe that kids can make. Perfect to throw in lunches or in your purse for travel. You can also add 1/4 cup wheat germ without changing the consistency. Change up the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate for different flavors. I generally keep the bars in the refrigerator until I am ready to eat them, but these keep well to take to work or school.

1 MINUTE, NO BAKE, CEREAL BAR



1 Minute, No Bake, Cereal Bar image

My pantry is running very low on baking supplies, but I had a box of raisin-bran cereal that had too many raisins that I wanted to use up. So, I chose to adapt my other recipe: Recipe #357474 using what I had on hand. I think this turned out really nice and entirely different from the original version. I used peanut-hazelnut butter instead of peanut butter.

CEREAL BARS (NO BAKE)



Cereal Bars (No Bake) image

This is a recipe I have adapted from CDkitchen "Gluten-Free Granola Bars Recipe". This has become a staple in our house! We make 2 batches of these a week, wrap them in parchment paper and seal them in an air tight glass container. Note: If you are gluten intolerant, you need to make sure that the rice and corn cereals you choose are gluten free. Some rice and corn cereals contain malt which is derived from barely. We use Nature's Path Rice cereal and Honey Sweetened Corn Flakes.

50g nut butter or peanut butter

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cereal bars will be.
  • Don't overmix the ingredients: Overmixing will make the cereal bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the cereal bars firmly into the pan: This will help them hold together better.
  • Chill the cereal bars before cutting them: This will make them easier to cut and less likely to crumble.
  • Store the cereal bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

No-bake cereal bars are a delicious and easy snack that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They're perfect for busy families or anyone who wants a healthy and portable snack. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a cereal bar recipe that everyone will enjoy.
