Yummy No-Bake Cereal Bars with Ancient Grains

We are an active, fit family that loves sports and being outdoors. Between the kids’ activities, going to the gym, school, work and the craziness of everyday life, it seems like we are always on the go. It’s important that we have healthy snacks on hand to help us refuel between meals. I try to pack fruit or veggies for our adventures, but oftentimes, it’s easier to just grab whatever granola bars or protein bars we have on hand. For awhile now I’ve been meaning to make my own bars, so this past weekend I whipped a batch using a handful of ingredients I had in my pantry. They turned out amazing and my whole family loved them!

Multi-Grain Cheerios with Ancient Grains

The key ingredient to these cereal bars is Multi-Grain Cheerios with Ancient Grains, an all-new variety of Cheerios sold exclusively at Sam’s Club. With only 5 grams of sugar, 17g whole grain per serving, and ancient grains like KAMUT wheat, spelt, and quinoa it’s a delicious, better-for-you cereal option. I knew it would be the perfect base for the bars I had been wanting to make.

Easy No-Bake Cereal Bars with Ancient Grains

Besides Ancient Grains Cheerios, the only other ingredients you need to make these no-bake bars are crunchy natural peanut butter, honey and mini chocolate chips. I kept it simple but you could also add nuts, coconut flakes, raisins or cranberries.

While these bars only take about 5 minutes to whip up, they do need about an hour in the refrigerator to harden. After that, you can cut them into bars to enjoy. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them. They will soften and crumble if they get warm, so just keep that in mind.
