Cereal Granola Bars

A crunchy & chewy blend of seeds and treats for parrots. Pre-cut it into convenient sizes and use for a quick meal when you are in a hurry!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup seed mix

1/2 cup healthy cereal (Cheerios, Wheat chex, Corn Flakes…)

1/4 cup chopped unsalted peanuts

1/2 cup wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp. coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

2 tbsp honey

3 tbsp water

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325′ F. Lightly grease a 9 x 9 (or smaller) pan.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: oats, seeds, cereal, peanuts, flour, baking soda, and brown sugar. Mix well, then add the oil, honey, and water.

3. Scoop mixture into the pan and use a sheet of waxed paper to press down into a uniform layer about 3/4 inch thick. Use aluminum foil to build a barrier- but the mixture should not spread.

4. Bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool, and cut into meal-sized squares.

5. You can feed them warm, or store them in your refrigerator or freezer and use when needed. To re-heat, thaw them out, or place in the microwave for approximately 15 seconds. Make sure to check for hot spots when re-heating.
