- snack on while studying
- have for breakfast without waking everyone up
- can travel well if needed
These cinnamon cereal snack bars seem to work really well for all of those things and they taste good. They store well and would be more self stable if I had used coconut oil instead of butter, but with the amount of almond flour I am more comfortable storing these in the refrigerator than in the cupboard for extended periods of time.
If you are following Trim Healthy Mama like I do then these bars are considered an S meal/snack.
Why I make these Snack Bars Often
Sometimes life just gets busy, you know it’s time to eat something but just aren’t sure what to grab. Having Snack bars like these on hand is a great way to combat that. I used to be bad about grabbing a pop tart and mindlessly munching on that so these make a great replacement. cold from the fridge or warmed in the microwave or toaster oven they have become one of my favorite snack items.
My grandson really loves these and he is a hard sell with stuff like this because of sensory and texture issues. the crust gets just a bit crispy and the center stays softer. You can even frost these with a bit of glaze.
Using Sugar Free Jellies or slim belly jelly for a berry filled center make the flavor varieties endless with this little babies.
