Homemade Kind Breakfast Bar Recipe
Description
The Homemade Kind Breakfast Bars combine multiple nuts and dried fruits — including almonds, walnuts, pistachios, figs, mulberries, and apricots — with rice puff cereal, chia seeds, and coconut flakes to create a textured base filled with flavors and nutrients. The wet ingredients, brown rice syrup and almond butter, are gently heated and melted together to form a smooth binding mixture that coats the dry components evenly.
Once combined, the mixture is pressed firmly into an 8x8 lined baking pan to compact the ingredients, ensuring the bars hold together after chilling. Refrigeration for at least two hours, ideally overnight, allows the binding syrup to set and stabilize the bars into a firm, sliceable block.
After chilling, the block is lifted out and cut into individual bars, which can be wrapped for easy transport or storage. The resulting bars offer a chewy texture from the dried fruits and a crunch from the nuts and cereal, suitable for breakfast on-the-go or a wholesome snack.
Ingredients
For The Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups rice puff cereal
- 1/2 cup almonds unsalted
- 1/2 cup walnuts unsalted
- 1/2 cup pistachio unsalted
- 1/3 cup figs chopped, dried
- 1/3 cup dried mulberries chopped
- 1/3 cup dried apricot chopped
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
For The Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8X8-baking pan with parchment paper leaving a couple inches overhanging on the sides.
- Mix puff cereal, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, figs, mulberries, apricots, chia seeds, and coconut flakes in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk brown rice syrup, almond butter, and sugar (if using) in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, heat it over medium heat until they are all fully combined and melted, a minute or two. It should be a very smooth mixture.
- Pour the hot mixture over the nuts and fruits mixture. Stir until all nuts and fruits are coated with the liquid mixture.
- Transfer them into the lined pan. Spread them evenly. Using the back of a ramekin (or back of a spatula or spoon) press to make it compact.
- Place it in the fridge for 2 hours, or preferably, overnight.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, take the block of granola out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut it into smaller pieces.
- Individually wrap them in wax or parchment paper and keep them in an airtight container.
