Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups of your favorite cereal
  • 1 cup of oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup of nut butter
  • 1/2 cup of dried fruits or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This ensures your bars come out easily and helps with cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cereal and oats. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed. This combination forms the base of your Milk and Cereal Bars.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the honey or maple syrup with the nut butter until smooth. This mixture will help bind your bars together and add a delicious flavor.
  4. Combine Everything: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well-coated. Add in any extras like dried fruits or chocolate chips at this stage for added flavor.
  5. Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly. This step is crucial for ensuring your bars hold together once they are cut. Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut them into squares or rectangles. Your Milk and Cereal Bars are now ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your cereals and nuts are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Skip the Refrigeration: Allowing the bars to chill helps them set properly, ensuring they won’t crumble.
  • Experiment with Textures: Mix in crushed nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Check for Sweetness: Adjust the level of honey or maple syrup based on your taste preference.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will help to cut clean edges for a beautiful presentation.
