As a child I remember that we used puffed rice to make some squares, but have not found a recipe on Zaars, so I have changed one of the recipes to work with making them with puffed rice cereal. The time given as cooking, is actually the setting time. Hope you enjoy them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the cereal squares will taste. Use ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and pure vanilla extract for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cereal squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a baking sheet with sides: This will help to prevent the cereal squares from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper: This will make it easy to remove the cereal squares from the pan once they are baked.
  • Bake the cereal squares until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture.
  • Let the cereal squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the cereal squares in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

These puffed wheat cereal squares are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these cereal squares a try!
