Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/4 cup Honey Loops Cereal
- 1/4 cup Cornflakes Cereal
- 1/2 cup Nuts almonds, mixed, pecans – or your favorite mix, walnuts
- 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds optional, adds extra crunch and nutrients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter creamy peanut butter works best
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Butter unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Sugar optional; can be omitted or replaced with an extra tablespoon of honey for a less sweet bar, granulated
Instructions
Toast the Dry Ingredients
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the rolled oats, Honey Loops, cornflakes, nuts, and sunflower seeds. Toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Honey-Peanut Butter Mixture
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey, water, and sugar (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
Combine and Press
- Add the toasted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared dish.
Chill and Cut
- Cover the granola mixture with another sheet of parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Lift the granola slab out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and serve. Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best No-Bake Honey Granola Bars
- For extra flavor, toast your nuts and seeds separately before adding them to the oats and cereal.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your liking. If you prefer a less sweet bar, reduce the honey by 1-2 tablespoons.
- Feel free to get creative with add-ins! Dried cranberries, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or pumpkin seeds would all be delicious additions.
- For easier cutting, lightly grease your knife with butter or oil before slicing the bars.
