Description
A delicious no-bake cereal bar made with peanut butter and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 cups cereal of choice (I used Cheerios)
- 2–3 tablespoons toppings (try chocolate chips, freeze-dried fruit, etc.)
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Clear some space in the freezer for this pan—you’ll need it later. Set pan aside at room temperature.
- Whisk nut butter and maple syrup together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments until warm and fragrant. Whisk in between heating increments.
- Add cereal of choice to the sticky nut butter mixture. Stir and fold until well mixed.
- Pour cereal bar mixture into lined pan. Press firmly into a tightly-packed, even layer. If using, press Optional Toppings into the tops of bars.
- Chill cereal bars in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove from freezer and slice into 16 bars. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer—the bars will set over the first day.
Notes
- Store leftover bars in the refrigerator or freezer. The bars will set over the first day.
