From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
Even if you aren't baking for the kids, homemade granola bars or breakfast bars are a healthier choice than sugary cereal, and, of course, they're perfect for eating on the run, if you've got to go! I admit, when I make cereal bars, I munch on them as a snack, rather than eating them for breakfast. Nothing wrong with that, though! Here's a few to try.

Whole wheat cranberry date bars
These whole wheat and oatmeal breakfast bars are flavored with cranberries and dates and has a few positive reviews from readers.

Whole wheat energy bars
These healthy bars have plenty of fiber from wheat bran and wheat germ and are sweetened with dried fruit, applesauce and honey instead of sugar.

More breakfast bars and cereal bars to try
Here's a few more breakfast bar and granola bar recipes to try:
  • Oatmeal Cereal Bars Use any kind of cereal you like to make these bars. There's plenty of maple syrup in this recipe, so while it's free of refined sugar, it's still quite sweet. Pictured.
  • Chocolate peanut butter rice crispies This rice crispy squares recipe uses corn syrup and peanut butter (and chocolate!) instead, making it both vegetarian, vegan, and super yummy!
  • Cornflake cereal bars Another incredibly easy way to make cereal bars, this one using corn syrup and cornflake cereal.
  • Peanut butter granola bars Homemade granola bars may be easier to make than you think. This easy vegan recipe has just six ingredients.
