Peanut Butter Cornflake No-Bakes

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Emily from Whatever Floats Your Oats, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl, and Cassandra from Powered By Bling, to create awesome healthy recipes each week!

This week’s theme = No-Bake! Make sure you hop around to check out all the amazing recipes in this link up and feel free to add your own recipe as well!

I recently acquired a cookbook filled with all sorts of different interesting recipes that allow me to use up stuff in my kitchen, and since it has both savory and sweet recipes, I decided to try out another recipe for today!

Not gonna lie, the original recipe scared me a little. I don’t want to use an entire cup of sugar, nor did I feel like using 1 cup of light corn syrup (I don’t even have any D: ), so as per usual, I healthified this sucker! :]

She mentions this in her book too, but feel free to sub in a different nut butter or cereal for this recipe! Depending on the type of nut butter you use, you may or may not want to try throwing in a teaspoon of salt. You can also sub in your choice of sweetener (e.g. agave nectar, molasses, honey…), so I went with what I had the most of (aka peanut butter + honey)!

This recipe made about a dozen “cookies!”

Peanut Butter Cornflake No-Bakes

pbcornflakenobakesThanks again for the plate, Kaylin! <3!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups cornflakes (I used Nature’s Path Fruit Juice Sweetened Corn Flakes)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the honey, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir constantly over medium heat until it reaches a boil.
  2. Remove from heat + stir in the cornflakes.
  3. Drop 2-tablespoon-sized clumps onto a sheet of parchment paper and let it cool completely (~20 minutes) before eating.
  4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, or at cool room temperature for up to a few days!

  1. AH! I’m so glad you are using the plate, especially for plating up some deliciousness. Man, I haven’t had cornflakes in ages, but these sound so good–especially with the honey. Honey is probably one of my most favorite ingredients ever. I think we are going to even have little tiny jars of honey as wedding favors. :)

    1. I love it! :D Thanks so much again! I’m sure my readers will appreciate seeing me using a different plate (for once :O!!), haha.

      That’s an adorable wedding favor idea! <3!

  2. O my gosh, Farrah! I love these! Haha! Nature’s path corn flakes are the best! So simple and pure and I love the addition of PB! <3

    1. Thanks! :D The ones I used just so happened to be gluten-free, so I was able to successfully share em’ with everyone without having to extensively ask about food restrictions! :P

  11. Corn flakes are magical I add them to so many things. I’m really loving the no bake stuff these days. It’s so good, it almost feels like you’re eating stuff as it’s being prepped for cooking, but you’re not! I need to put these on my list!
    Erin@BeetsPerMinute recently posted…Why I Decided To Finally Get HealthyMy Profile

    1. Agreed! :D Although I definitely snuck a few bites while I was making em’. (I was taste-testing!!)

    1. I took em’ to church and they were very well received! :D (They are slightly wary sometimes because I insist on bringing in only healthy things, haha.)

  15. I love that these only have four ingredients! Quick, easy snacks like this are the best. =)
    Miranda @ Miranda Writes Blog recently posted…Coffee Chat No. 35My Profile

    1. Thanks so much, Cassandra! It’s been a good one! I love my rotation right now, so that definitely helps! :]

      Hope you have a great weekend!

  17. Ooo those look so good! A few years ago I made something similar at Christmas – it had Chex cereal, corn syrup, and sugar. But because it was Christmas I definitely went with all the sugar ;)

    I really wanted to bake something because I’m home sick from work tonight! These would be perfect except I just got my braces tightened and I don’t think my teeth could handle that haha.
    Ariana recently posted…Inspiring Humans: Farrah FongMy Profile

    1. Aww, I’m sorry you’re sick! :[ Hope you feel better soon! (Get some rest + drink lots of fluids! <3 ) These probably would not be the best choice, but...great excuse to enjoy a smoothie? :]!

  18. Yum! You had me at peanut butter!!
