Nutty Oat and Cereal Bars
Serves 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice (I used sunflower and pepita seeds)
• 1/4cup Cheerio’s (or other cereal of your choice)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2cup almond butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the oats onto a half-sheet pan, and place in oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. When down, place into a large bowl with the nuts and cheerio’s.
2. Prepare an 8x8 pan with wax paper lining the bottom and sides.  
3. Combine the honey and almond butter in a small saucepan, and heat on low until melted and thin in consistency. Turn off the heat and add the extract. Pour the mixture over the oat-nut-cereal mixture, and stir while still hot to thoroughly combine and coat.
4. Allow to cool in the fridge for at least two hours. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
