Best 4 Whole Wheat Cereal Bars Recipes

WHOLE-WHEAT CEREAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a quarter sheet pan (9 x 13 inches) with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large ziplock bag, combine the cereal, nuts, spice, and salt. Crush with a meat tenderizer or your fist until the cereal is broken up into pieces. Pour into a large bowl.
• Melt the butter and honey together and stir into the cereal mixture until well combined. Spread onto the baking sheet in one even layer and bake until it just starts to turn golden brown, 20 - 22 minutes.
• Let cool completely then break into chunks and store in an airtight container for up to one week.

WHOLE GRAIN ENERGY BAR

Steps:

• Mix everything but the raisins and chocolate chips together. Use a food processor if you can because it makes it a lot easier.
• Then add in the chocolate chips and raisins.
• Form into bars and refrigerate for about an hour allowing them to harden.
• I suppose you could freeze them and eat as needed, but they never last that long around here.
• You can also increase the honey if you want something a little sweeter. I try to cut back on my sugar as much as I can in my food.

HOMEMADE WHEAT FLAKES CEREAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
• Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the honey and vanilla with the water in a liquid measuring cup, then slowly pour the liquid in a stream into the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes a pourable batter (like a thin pancake batter); add more or less water as necessary. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly all the way to the edges, smoothing the top so that it is quite thin (you can also use a rolling pin and roll the batter out between two sheets of parchment paper). It should be no more than 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake until the top is dry and begins to crack, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool until it is cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F.
• Break the baked layer into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces. Spread the broken pieces evenly on the same baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through and redistributing on the baking sheet, until the flakes are dried and crisp, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely. The cereal can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

MULTI-GRAIN ENERGY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cereal, raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flours, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• Stir to mix thoroughly.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar and egg until blended.
• Stir in the applesauce and vanilla.
• Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.
• Spread the batter in the pan and bake for about 30- 35 minutes or until golden brown and tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
• Let cool until lukewarm on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
