This is a simple, wholesome, and quick granola snack recipe that my sister-in-law shared with me on a snowy day when the kids were stuck at home. She mentioned that once I made it, the kids would devour the entire batch within a single day—and she was absolutely right! The crunchy, slightly sweet flavor makes it irresistible, and it’s perfect for both kids and adults. Because it disappears so quickly, I usually double the recipe just to keep up, ensuring we have enough for snacking, lunch boxes, or even a quick breakfast on the go.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, stir together the rice cereal, oats, and raisins. Set aside. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Combine the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat just until boiling, then remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the cereal and oat mixture, and mix well.
-
Press into the prepared pan using the back of a large spoon. Allow to cool, then cut into squares.
