Gluten Free Breakfast Bars

Hello! 

I'm in a particularly good mood today. 

I'm not sure why, because I didn't sleep well,

thanks to Wicket for reverting back to puppyhood 

and needing to go potty twice in the night.

Anyways..

I wanted to share a cute little recipe for breakfast bars! 

If you are new here, 

you may not know,

I'm allergic to gluten.

Which means I can't eat a lot of the stuff at stores.

I'm normally in a huge rush in the mornings,

and I never feel like real breakfast.

So, I'm left with few options.

The one I like best is breakfast bars.

Sadly, gluten free breakfast bars kind of taste like mud,

and bricks. 

Plus they are expensive! 

So, I decided to make my own. 

You will need
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup crisp rice cereal

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats


dried cranberries

chocolate chips
To add in to your liking.

 In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, peanut butter, and butter.
Stir until melted and smooth.
Don't accidentally leave while you wash the measuring spoons.. 
Cause then you will have to start over.
Like me.

Then, spill the expensive organic gluten free rice crisp cereal on the ground,
and don't be quick enough to clean it before the vacuum dogs swoop in.
Don't worry, this step is optional.

  Remove from heat; stir in cereal, oats, and dried cranberries.

Wait two minutes, then stir in some chocolate chips.
Flatten out on lightly greased cake pan or cookie sheet.
Let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Then cut into bars.

I store mine in the fridge and grab one as I go out the door.
Be careful, the only thing holding these babies together is peanut butter and honey.
When they get warm, they crumble.
But it wouldn't be gluten free if it didn't fall apart.
Right?

This recipe makes about 10 bars.
And they are very delicious.
