three ingredient cereal bars could not be more perfect and easy!

Gave this three ingredient cereal bars recipe its own much deserved post (and updated pics)!

these cereal bars are a must-have recipe!

Back to school is HERE, and I don’t know what I did before discovering this recipe-that-isn’t-even-a-recipe:

• three ingredients
• 1 bowl
• less than 10 minutes prep time
• no bake
• 1000000000% adaptable!

what is in these must-make bars?

Did you see how adaptable they are? This is a truly sky’s the limit situation, and perfect for whatever you have lying around. But the basic ingredient list is:

• any nut or seed butter
• any liquid sweetener
• any cereal

how do you make three ingredient cereal bars?

Did you see the “less than 10 minutes prep”? Seriously. All you do is melt the nut/seed butter and sweetener in a bowl, mix in the cereal, and press into a pan. Chill or freeze, cut into bars and serve!

These bars are more delicious than they should be for how easily and quickly they come together. They travel and keep well, and are satisfyingly guilt-free. Perfect for mid-morning, lunchboxes and afternoon hangry-staving too.

frequently asked questions!

I guarantee that once you make these bars you too will deem them the perfect snack, and will be making them on the regular. We can’t have enough easy recipes and this is a favorite — let me know if you make them!

Equipment

• 8 x 8 baking pan
• parchment paper

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup honey
• 3 cups cornflakes
• flaky sea salt for sprinkling, optional

Instructions

 

• Line an 8" x 8" square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
• Place the tahini and honey in a large heatproof bowl and heat in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water until the tahini and honey are melted. Stir to combine.
• Add the cereal to the bowl and stir to coat well. Pour into your prepared pan and use slightly damp hands to press firmly and evenly. Sprinkle with the salt (if using) and place in the fridge or freezer to set.
• Use the parchment to transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

1. Swap the tahini for any nut or seed butter.
2. Swap the honey for maple syrup or another liquid sweetener.
3. I use an 8 x 8 pan but any size or shape will work!
4. When using tahini I suggest keeping these bars in the freezer for the firmest texture. Almond or peanut butter bars can be stored in the fridge.
