Quick and easy. It is like a cake bar not granola bar. I used corn flourn (maseca), since I hate bean flavor (fava and garbanzo flours) in my gluten free cooking, and natural peanut butter instead of almond, since it's more affordable. I mixed all the dry together with the almonds and included the melty peanut butter in my wet ingredients. Since the last review was clear that 30 mins was too long I watched as it baked, and baked it for 20... perfect! Maybe cereal used is a factor?????

Wow, these were inedible for us. First of all, the cook time was so far off that after just 20 minutes they were burnt beyond recognition. I cut into them, hoping to try a little off the bottom just to get a taste of what was meant to be a great snack, and they completely crumbled. Not sure I'm willing to fork over another $5 for cereal to try this recipe again....
