SIMPLY TARALYNN — Cereal Bars - On The Go Breakfast!

Cereal Bars - On The Go Breakfast!

Cereal is one of the worlds most popular breakfast foods. It’s fast, delicious and filling. Some mornings I over sleep or have to be somewhere super early and don't have the time to sit down and have a bowl of cereal. That is why I decided to start making my own cereal bars. Sure you can by them at the store or gas station but they are super expensive and higher in fat, calories and sugar.

Here is the whole grain Chex topped with coconut sprinkles and dark chocolate drizzle.

This one is a cheerio cereal bar with a honey glaze topped with rainbow sprinkles.

The great part about this to go bar is you can make seven of them on Sunday to eat throughout the week. They are also cute for office meetings, parties and snacks for the classroom. To decorate them up , I added a strip of scrap paper and tied a little ribbon around them.

I chose these cereals because they were the only ones hiding in my cupboard. You can use any cereal you desire. I'd recommend choosing a high fiber, whole grain and low sugar cereal.

These are also perfect for kids when you cant get them to sit down at the table to eat breakfast. You can just strap them into the car and hand them a cereal bar.

This alone wont be a complete breakfast. Try to grab a piece of fruit like a apple, peach or banana to go with it. You can even add dried fruit, nuts or other ingredients in your cereal bars as well.

10 Cereals I’d recommend for these bars:

Fiber One
Un-frosted Shredded Wheat (Kashi)
Whole Grain Chex
Multi Grain Cheerios
Kashi Puffs
Whole Grain Total Flakes
Multi-Grain Special K
Oat Squares
Natures Path Brands
Barbara’s Shredded Spoonfuls

Let the mixture sit in the bowl for 1 - 2 minutes so the marshmallows can harden up.
Take your hands and run them under water to keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.
With your hands grab the cereal mixture and start to form into a rectangle
If they are not sticking together let the marshmallows harden more or run your hands under water again.
