Milk and Cereal Bars are a convenient, tasty snack packed with breakfast flavors. These bars combine the crunchiness of cereals with creamy milk, making them nostalgic and perfect for busy days.

Ingredients

Scale

Rolled Oats

  • 2 cups rolled oats

Cereal of Choice

  • 1 cup cereal of your choice

Nut Butter

  • 1/2 cup nut butter

Honey or Maple Syrup

  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

Dried Fruits or Nuts

  • 1/2 cup dried fruits or nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients to ensure you have everything ready for the process. It makes cooking much smoother!
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats and your selected cereal until they are well combined. This creates a solid base for your bars.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the nut butter and honey or maple syrup. Mix until smooth, ensuring that the nut butter is completely blended with the sweetener.
  4. Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly coated, making sure there are no dry patches left.
  5. Add Extras: If you want to add dried fruits or nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage. It’s all about customization and making it your own!
  6. Press and Set: Line a baking pan with parchment paper, and pour the mixture in. Use a spatula to press it down firmly, ensuring it holds its shape while cutting.
  7. Chill and Cut: Refrigerate the mixture for about an hour, allowing it to set. Once firm, remove it from the pan and cut it into bar shapes. Enjoy your homemade Milk and Cereal Bars!

Notes

  • Line Your Pan: Using parchment paper helps easily lift the bars out of the pan without sticking.
  • Use Nut-Free Butter: For school snacks, replace nut butter with sunflower seed butter to create a nut-free alternative.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir just enough for the ingredients to combine; overmixing can lead to a tough texture.
  • Experiment with Textures: Mix different cereals to create a variety of textures and flavors in each bite.
  • Portion Control: Cut the bars into small pieces for easy snacking, and to help control serving sizes.
