Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I gather all my ingredients and prep my workspace. The first thing I do is mix the oats and puffed rice cereal in a large mixing bowl. It’s a satisfying crunch that fills the air as I stir them together. Then, in a separate bowl, I combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Once everything is well blended, I add this to the oat mixture. It’s amazing to watch it come together! The warm, nutty aroma fills my kitchen, creating a cozy atmosphere.
