These Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are the perfect Breakfast. A quick, easy, delicious and nutritious way to get a healthy start to your day.
I remember a period of a couple of years when I had children in elementary school, middle school and high school. All at the same time! This meant we had three different school start times which lead to some pretty crazy mornings at our house. These breakfast bars became the perfect way to get them all out the door with a good breakfast.
Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Breakfast Bars are packed full of protein and fiber. The perfect morning combo. They are easy to make and easy to on a busy morning.
Ingredients
- Old Fashioned Oatmeal
- Peanut Butter
- Honey
- Brown Sugar
- Crispy Rice Cereal
- Raisins
- Dried Cranberries
- Pecans
How to Make Breakfast Bars
The breakfast bars are a combination of old fashioned oats, rice cereal, raisins, dried cranberries and pecans.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a small sauce pan, stir the peanut butter and honey over low heat until melted. Add in the brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Pat the mixture into a greased 9×9 pan and let them cool. Then just cut them into bars and they are ready to grab and go!
The oats and the rice cereal give the bars the perfect ratio of chew to crunch and you can add in your favorite dried fruit and nut combo for even more goodness.

Good flavor! Mine fell apart though. Could it be because I used natural peanut butter making the mixture less solid? Nancy K
Nancy says
I like the flavor but too crumbly. I used natural peanut butter, do you think that is why?
