1/2cupcreamy peanut butter
1/2cuphoney
2 1/4cupsquick oats*
1 1/2cupscrisp rice cereal
dash of salt
1/4tsp.cinnamon(optional)
Chocolate Drizzle (optional):
3tbsps.chocolate chips
1/2tsp.coconut oil*
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the peanut butter and honey and microwave in 30-second increments until the mixture is smooth enough to easily stir together.
Add in the quick oats, salt, and cinnamon and stir until well combined. Slowly add in the cereal, making sure to mix well.
Scoop mixture into prepared baking sheet and flatten down with hands or pastry roller.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and cut into 10 bars.
Notes
Oats: If using old fashioned rolled oats, be sure to pulse them a few times in a food processor. This will break them down to about the same size as the quick oats.Coconut oil: The coconut oil is not necessary for the chocolate drizzle, but it helps make it a little thinner and easier to work with.Storage instructions: Keep bars refrigerated for up to 10 days in an airtight container.
