Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.5 cup natural peanut butter
- 0.3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, Rice Krispies cereal, and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan over low heat, combine the natural peanut butter and honey. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Ensure it is only warmed, not overheated.
Remove the peanut butter-honey mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the oats and cereal are evenly coated.
If using mini chocolate chips, wait a minute to allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold them in to prevent melting.
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to help lift the bars out later.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking) to compact the mixture.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1-2 hours until the bars are firm and set.
Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into 10 evenly sized bars and enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
