Instructions
Spread oats on a baking sheet and toast at 325 degrees for about 3 minutes. Remove from oven place in a large bowl.
Line a 9 x 13” pan with parchment.
Combine cereal and add-ins in large bowl with the toasted oats.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine oil, honey, peanut butter, and molasses. Stir until well combined. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once cooled down, pour wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are fully coated. Allow to cool for a few more minutes before folding in chocolate chips.
Press mixture into prepared pan. Place in fridge for at least one hour.
Cut into bars or squares and enjoy!
Notes
You could replace the honey with maple syrup to make these vegan, however bars will be somewhat crumbly. Reducing the cereal and add-ins to ¾ cup each may help these be less crumbly.
Rice Krispies work great for the puffed rice cereal component, but any puffed grain - or really any dry cereal at all - works just fine here.
