Hi! Can I use more oats instead of the cereal?

Meg, for a vegan version you would use Earth Balance butter and also replace the honey with agave or maple syrup or a mixture of both! I made some today like this (we’re vegan and my son has a peanut allergy) and they were delish!

I made these granola bars and my kids loved them so much that I have made them twice this week…

I love homemade granola bars! The recipe I use doesn’t call for butter, but does have peanut butter.
2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups oats (I use rolled oats and it works fine)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy but creamy is fine)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Melt honey, brown sugar and salt over medium low heat until boiling. Let boil 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pb until smooth. Pour over cereal and oatmeal and stir until well mixed. Let cool for a few minutes, then stir in choc chips. Spread into a greased 9x13in pan and press down firmly. Let sit until cool, then cut into bars. I find a pizza cutter works great to cut them!

Hi Megan –
I’m trying to make these for a friend of mine that is Vegan. Any ideas of what to replace the butter with? This particular friend does eat honey even though it’s not Vegan. Let me know! Thanks!

Hi Megan, I was wondering if you have tried making them with rolled oats? I only buy rolled oats and I really want to make these, lol! Thanks

Hi Megan! I love homemade granola bars. 🙂 So much better than storebought. And cheaper, too! I always have homemade bars on hand at my desk. They get me through the afternoon in the office!

Homemade granola bars are such a great snack and I love the chewy ones the best.
