These Triple Grain Crispy Bars are made with just a handful of ingredients for a delicious no-bake snack that’s naturally gluten-free, peanut-free, and dairy-free. Sunflower seed butter and honey bind everything together while adding just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy them as an afternoon pick-me-up, a lunchbox snack, or an easy grab-and-go breakfast on busy mornings.
Ingredients12 bars
- 2 cups puffed rice cereal (about 2.1 oz / 60 g)
- 1 cup puffed millet cereal (about 1.1 oz / 30 g)
- 3/4 cup sunflower seed butter (about 6.3 oz / 180 g)
- 3/4 cup honey (about 9 oz / 255 g)
- 1/2 cup uncooked tricolor quinoa (about 3 oz / 85 g)
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
Directions
1
In a dry pan over medium-high heat, toast quinoa in single layer, shaking often, until golden and popped. Quinoa will make popping sounds and smell toasted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2
In a small pot over low heat, warm sunflower seed butter, honey, and coconut oil, stirring often until smooth.
3
In a large bowl, combine puffed rice, puffed millet, and popped quinoa. Pour sunflower seed butter mixture over grains and gently toss until evenly coated.
4
Press firmly into parchment-lined pan and chill at least 1 hour, until set. Cut into 12 bars. Store in refrigerator.
Notes:
- Peanut butter or a nut butter could be used as well!
- If you can’t find puffed millet, you can substitute an additional 3/4 cup (20g) rice cereal and 1/4 cup (15g) popped quinoa.
Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
Thank you. Especially to see some easy recipes.
Puffed millet cereal is available at Walmart
Nice always looking for healthy options ❤️❤️👍
I thought the cereal was a UPF.
I love the recipe, but last time I tried using puffed rice in crispy bars, they got spongy. Any recommendations for keeping them crispy? A brand that works best?
Keep it in the refrigerator for crispiness.
What’s the nutrition breakdown?
Will make this soon when I travel to Japan! Mahalo
Oooh. I can’t wait to try these! I like some of the Rx Bars, but they’re expensive and these sound crunchier and delicious!
I thought Sunflower oil was a bad oil?
She says sunflower butter but still! I would use the real think real grass feed butter
Sunflower butter is ground sunflower seeds. It’s the same consistency as peanut butter.
Wondering if the quinoa has to be rinsed when making the bars….
y
Yes, I would and let it dry out.
What a good idea, healthy food.
Thank you
Thank you, sounds amazing… Will make it….
Very useful! Thank you🙏🏻😄
What could you use instead of coconut oil? I despise coconut which is such a shame!
I like to use avocado oil when recipes call for oil. It’s a healthy fat and doesn’t have a flavor.
The coconut oil I have seen is flavorless as well as organic
A very useful app to have eaten much better and what is in the food that you buy better choices
