With one bowl, 3-ingredients, and 5-minutes you’ll move this recipe to the top of your quick and easy favorites!

I have criteria for what I consider to be a recipe worth trying for the first time. 

First, I like to be able to look at a picture and know exactly how to make it and what ingredients I’ll need. For example, over Easter I saw a White Chocolate Covered Oreo Bunny Butt on Pinterest. I knew how to make them without even looking at the ingredients or recipe. I made them based solely on looking at the picture. Easy peasy. 

Second, if I already have all of the ingredients in my pantry I will most likely give it a try. Why not?! Or, if I can remember what ingredients I need without writing them down, there is a good chance I’ll try making it. 

Third, if the recipe is short and sweet I’ll give it a try. New to me recipes with a lot of fluff turn me away. Sometimes I will read through a recipe and see if I can sift through the stuff I don’t need to see if I am still interested. But more often than not, I’ll keep looking until I find a shorter recipe. 

These No Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars meet a majority of that criteria! This recipe requires one bowl, 3 ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and you’ll remember how to make them after only reading through the recipe once! Not to mention they are delicious and perfect for packed lunches of all ages!

In my house we call these Pooh Butter Bars. When my husband and I were kids, we attended a summer camp that would have ‘Pooh Butter’ on the tables. It was a perfect mixture of peanut butter and honey! As if that wasn’t enough to take a walk down memory lane, the cheerios in these bars remind me of my little guy being REALLY little. Oh, how time flies!
