DIABETIC GRAPE NUTS BARS



Diabetic Grape Nuts Bars image

I made these for my Baci ("grandmother" in Polish) because she has to watch her blood sugar. Loving her with all my being makes me worry about her well-being. I decided to try this recipe (and another Oatmeal Bar recipe) and give her an alternative to eating baked goods for a "quick fix." She preferred the other recipe and recommends this recipe to those who like Grape Nuts. She says the bars reminded her of Grape Nuts pudding.

GRAPE-NUTS PEANUT BUTTER MARSHMALLOW BARS



Grape-Nuts Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars image

Snack, treat or perhaps breakfast bar! Yummy and semi healthy! Yes it has sugar, but grape nuts are nutritious! Grape-Nuts have natural fiber, whole grains, antioxidants, high in iron and folic acid! I bought a few boxes on sale but never want to eat them, lol! On the Post grape-nuts box it had a recipe for peanut butter bars which tasted okay, but I thought marshmallow would make them so much better and was right! So we adapted the recipe to meet my families likes. I think adding chocolate would of course be awesome too, but have not tried. So alter away! The recipe can be doubled. Original recipe said reduced fat peanut butter, and had an optional adding dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins or cherries adding at the time of the cereal.

Time 8m

Yield 9 Bars, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup mini marshmallows
2 cups Grape-nuts cereal

Steps:

  • Grease an 8x8 pyrex dish (or if doubling the recipe a 13x9).
  • Microwave peanut butter, corn syrup and sugar in a medium size bowl on HIGH for 1minute. Stir and then stir in marshmallows and microwave 1more minute. Stir, if melted move on otherwise continue cooking 1minute at a time.
  • Add Grape-Nuts cereal; mix well.
  • Press cereal mixture firmly onto bottom of 8x8 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cool completely.
  • Cut cereal mixture into bars. I kept in pyrex with the lid on but you can wrap individual bars with plastic wrap, store at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas will make the bars too mushy.
  • Mash the bananas well before adding them to the other ingredients. This will help to prevent them from clumping together.
  • Be sure to measure the peanut butter correctly. Too much peanut butter will make the bars too dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have Grape-Nuts cereal, you can substitute another type of cereal, such as granola or shredded wheat.
  • The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These Grape-Nuts bars are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for on-the-go. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with nuts or without, these bars are sure to be a hit.
