Cereal is one of the best foods. While we usually eat it for breakfast, it’s a great snack for any time of day. But sometimes you don’t have time to sit down with a bowl and spoon, and when that happens you might turn to a cereal bar so you can eat cereal on the go. Rice Crispy Treats are the most classic kind of cereal bar, but there are lots of different kinds you can make with different cereals. Here are a few.
Healthy Cereal-Seed Bars
For a healthier type of cereal bar, try mixing fortified cereals with nuts and seeds for some protein and nutrients. This recipe uses nut butter and natural sweeteners to hold the bars together, making for a perfect substantial snack that will give you energy for hours instead of just a sugar high.
Easy Puffed Cereal Bars
These extremely easy 3-ingredient bars also use nut butter and maple syrup to stick together the puffed cereal of your choice. The puffed cereal will be light and crunchy, making it perfect for a light snack with lots of texture. It’s best to use a puffed cereal here because a heavier cereal may fall apart more easily.
Classic Cereal Bars
You can more or less use the classic rice crispy recipe on any cereal: marshmallow and butter melted together, combine with cereal and press the mixture into a square pan. Simple, classic, and ultra-customizable, this is a great treat for any time!
