Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 3 cups Multigrain Cheerios (or any type of toasted oat cereal)

Instructions

  • Line a square baking dish (either 8x8 or 9x9 will work) with wax paper and set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Add honey and peanut butter and stir until everything is hot and well combined.
  • Remove from heat and mix in Cheerios. Pour into your baking dish and press down firmly.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Notes:
I recommend using natural peanut butter for this recipe (one where the only ingredients are peanuts and salt).  Standard peanut butters don’t seem to stick together the same way.
