Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (450g) whole grain cereal
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup (110ml) honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the peanut butter, honey, and salt in your microwave safe glass bowl. Note: Using glass prevents hotspots that can burn the honey
  2. Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract immediately after the last heat burst. Note: Adding vanilla at the end preserves its flavor
  4. Pour the 6 cups of cereal into your large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the warm binder over the top of the cereal.
  6. Gently fold the cereal into the liquid using your silicone spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
  7. Line your 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the pan and press down firmly with a flat glass until the surface is level and tightly packed.
  9. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.
  10. Slice into 16 bars once the edges feel firm to the touch.
