Low Sugar Blueberry Cereal Bars Recipe
Low in sugar and less than 200 calories each, these blueberry cereal bars are a new family-favorite!
Servings: 18
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup low sugar crisp rice cereal
- 2/3 cup dried blueberries (low or no sugar added if available)
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup brown rice syrup
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 egg whites (about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Stir together the oats, crisp rice cereal, dried blueberries and chopped almonds.
- In a microwaveable bowl, stir together the brown rice syrup, almond butter, chia seeds, vanilla, salt and almond extract. Heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute and stir to combine. Pour mixture over the oat mixture and stir until evenly coated. Pour in egg whites and stir to combine.
- Add mixture to prepared pan and press down into an even layer, using back of a large spoon or clean hands.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges, for slightly chewier bars. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown around the edges, for slightly crunchier bars. Bars will be softer in the middle but continue to firm and dry as they cool.
- Allow to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan to continue cooling on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut into 18 bars.
- Store any leftover cereal bars in an airtight container at room temperature.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 6 PointsPlus (Old plan) Rather than use Rice Krispies, which have 4 grams of added sugar in each 1-1/2 cups serving, I opted for sprouted brown rice crisps from One Degree, which has just 1 gram of added sugar in each 3/4 cup serving. Substitute liquid honey for the brown rice syrup if desired.
