These are simply amazing, easy, look fancy, are PACKED with fiber and there's no baking needed! Just a few minutes of stove-top prep and youï¿1/2re on your way to a fabulous cookie. Any type of nuts and fruit will work in this recipe, so have fun using whatever is in your pantry - I also always throw in a tablespoon of flax seed for good measure! Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal is a super high fiber cereal with flakes and clusters, so feel free to sub out any similar cereal you like (Honey Bunches of Oats would be perfect - I have even just done a combo of All Bran and Good Friends with great results). From eatbetteramerica. UPDATE: This morning I made just a half the recipe and simply pressed the mixture into a parchment lined 8x8 pan and it worked perfectly - just cut them into squares with a pizza cutter (dipping in water prior to each cut) after 30 minutes. Ingredients:
4 cups fiber one honey clusters cereal |
1 cup chopped dried cranberries (i use dried tart cherries) |
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds |
1/3 cup cashew pieces |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup corn syrup (i used a lite version with great results) |
1/4 cup peanut butter (i use crunchy, but the original recipe calls for creamy) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, mix cereal, cranberries, sunflower nuts and cashews.
2. In 2-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
3. Pour syrup over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Drop mixture by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto waxed paper. NOTE: I actually coated my 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and pressed the mixture into the cup making perfect little cookies with ease.
4. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
