Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Kashi GoLean Original Cereal
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.33 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 0.33 cup Dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy bar removal. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kashi GoLean cereal, rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and salt. Mix thoroughly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is warm and smooth (around 1 minute total).
Stir the vanilla extract into the warm almond butter and honey mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until evenly coated and combined.
Allow the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes before adding the mini chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Mix gently to distribute without melting the chocolate chips.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or clean hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan. Ensure the mixture is compacted for the bars to hold their shape.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture sets properly.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy as a convenient, healthy snack!
