Vegan Cereal Breakfast Bars

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

These cereal bars or breakfast bars are perfect to grab and eat on the go and are a great snack for kids. They remind me of the Rice Krispie squares my mom used to make when I was a kid, yet they are lower in fat and vegan. Try sprucing them up by adding some chocolate chips for a real treat, or, for a healthier breakfast bar, use a whole grain high-fiber cereal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups breakfast cereal, your choice
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 2/3 cup tahini
  • 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Preparation:

In a saucepan or small pot, cream together the peanut butter and tahini until smooth. Add maple syrup and simmer, stirring frequently. Turn off stove and add the remaining ingredients. Spread in greased baking pan and chill until firm. Once they are firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
