Dad’s Cheerioat Bars

Ingredients:

O’s and Oats

• 3 cups cinnamon oat crunch cheerios ( or whatever your favorite cheerio happens to be )

• 2 tsps vanilla ( I use non alcoholic for this recipe )

• 1/2 cup almond butter ( or nut butter of choice )

• 1/4 tsp sea salt

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1 cup rolled oats

Cottage Cheese Mixture

• 1 cup cottage cheese, whipped

• 1 tsp vanilla ( again I used non alcoholic )

• 1 tbsp honey

Note: I recommend eating these chilled out of the freezer as they will have an amazing almost ice cream like texture due to the cottage cheese.

Directions:

1. In a large bowl mix all your O’s and Oats ingredients until evenly combined.

2. In a separate medium sized bowl place your 1 cup of cottage cheese and whip together using an immersion blender. ( if you don’t have an immersion blender you can use a stand up blender or food processor for this step ).

3. Add vanilla and honey to your cottage cheese and stir together thoroughly.

4. pour your cottage cheese mixture into your oat bowl and mix until well combined

5. Dump your oat mixture onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and spread mixture until you have an even rectangle shape about a 1/2 inch in thickness.

6. Place your spread in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight and then cut into bar shapes using a pizza cutter and enjoy!
