    Love 'eat natural cereal bars/quaker oat bars', but soo expensive especially the 'eat natural' range. Could anyone recommend a recipe for no bake soft cereal bars that does not contain peanut butter or just honey to combine. Have tried numerous of these and find too sickly. Many thanks.

    Hi Blackhill,

    I only have recipes that involve baking but you might find something to suit on this thread:

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the recipes together.

    Thanks, but have already been through the thread and most of them need to be baked or contain peanut butter. Just wondered if anyone made no bake bars, as I have been given a new tupperware t-bar shaper for no bake bars (makes them about the size and shape of shop bars) but the recipe that came with it has peanut butter in it as well! Cannot put mould in oven. I already make twinks both in cookies and bars but would like to make a softer bar.

    You're very welcome :) I'm sorry that you couldn't find anything appropriate in the thread.

    Is this recipe of any use? No bake chewy granola bars I found it by searching on google for 'no bake cereal bars recipe' so perhaps if you do a search there you will find some more recipes.

    What about experimenting with creamed coconut instead of peanut butter? You would need to melt it a little and set it may make a firmer bar but should work. Or maybe using a different nut butter or tahini (strong flavour!)

    Thanks Pink, had already made that recipe yesterday when I posted, just wondered had anyone a tried and tested one. It is a little too sweet, but basic recipe worked well. I am going to try it with a few tweaks to sugar etc.

    Could you use the molds in the microwave instead of baking? It would still cook the ingredients, and they would probably harden when cool ..... (just a thought!)

    Hi, was wondering if anyone had a recipe for making cereal bars or something similar, something that involves chucking a load of stuff in a pan would be great!

    Do you mean like flapjacks - with nuts and fruit? Or like the Rice Krispie cereal bars?

    Not rice krispie ones, more like flapjack but i'm trying to eat less junk so healthy too would be good!
