"Oat and Honey" Cereal Bars


Here’s a delicious snack for the acid-reflux diet. It’s rich in fiber, and heart healthy too! I have to give credit to Mark Bittman, since these are adapted from his granola bar recipe. I swapped out the granola and nuts for basic Cheerios, and dropped the acidic apricots and used raisins instead.

Ingredients:
• One cup Cheerios
• One cup crisped brown rice cereal
• One third cup almond butter
• One quarter cup honey
• One quarter cup raisins

Grease a brownie pan with oil and line with plastic wrap.
Combine cereals and raisins in a large mixing bowl.
Combine almond butter and honey in a saucepan.
Heat saucepan until mixture is smooth.
Pour hot mixture over dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula.
Pour all ingredients into brownie pan, pressing down with spatula to even it out.
Cover with additional plastic wrap and fold over to seal.
Cool in refrigerator for at least three hours.
Remove plastic wrap and cut into bar shapes.
