Cereal bars recipe

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/8 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup Grape Nuts
Preheat oven to 400. Set aside 2 tablespoons Grape Nuts. In bowl, blend all ingredients. Roll dough into 2" by 1/2" balls. Press into rectangular bars. Coat bars with remaining Grape Nuts and place on nonstick cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until slightly brown. Cool completely before eating. Store in airtight container for up to a week. Makes 18 bars. Alan's note: This is a good recipe for you to substitute honey for sugar, whole wheat and organic white flour, even the butter can be organic. The Grape Nuts ...well, how can you improve on Grape Nuts?
