These No Bake Animal Cracker Bars are super easy to make and use only a few ingredients. They are the perfect after-school snack!
As I've said before, I love to make homemade protein bars and granola bars. They are easy to make, keep super well, and are deliciously satisfying for breakfast or as a snack on the go.
Deciding to make homemade bars also helps my family to save money and cut back on unnecessary ingredients in our diet. My Homemade Pumpkin Protein Bars, Apple Oatmeal Bars, and Chocolate Covered Cherry Granola Bars are a few of my personal favorites.
I recently made a batch of these No-Bake Animal Cracker Bars, or "Safari Bars" as my kids like to call them, and they were a huge hit! They are a great after-school snack and include one special ingredient of Glutino Animal Crackers. What kid doesn't love animal crackers?
Thanks to Glutino, I was immediately brought back to my childhood when I tried their animal crackers. I have always loved animal crackers and am super excited that Glutino has created a couple different versions of these gluten free goodies for people with Celiac or gluten intolerance. There is a Graham Flavor and an Original Flavor that are hard to resist. They are the perfect addition to my No-Bake Animal Cracker Bars for a salty-sweet snack on the go.
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depends on your preference)
- ½ cup broken animal crackers + additional whole animal crackers for topping
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup natural maple syrup
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
HOW DO I MAKE NO BAKE ANIMAL CRACKER BARS?
In a large bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until they are evenly combined.
Press the mixture into a parchment paper lined pan, then top with additional whole animal crackers. Cover the pan and place in your refrigerator for 2 hours - up to overnight. Remove, slice and ENJOY!
These are always a hit with kids (or for adults looking for a dose of nostalgia)! You can't go wrong when you combine easy, healthy and fun into a recipe to share with family and friends.
