Rip’s Big Bars are the kind of snack worth keeping around. Made with just five simple ingredients, they’re hearty, portable, and easy to make ahead for busy days.

Rip’s Big Bowl Banana Walnut Cereal creates the whole-grain base, while dates add natural sweetness and help hold everything together. Peanut butter brings richness and plant protein, and ground flax adds fiber and omega-3 ALA. There’s no added oil or refined sugar—just real ingredients baked into a chewy, satisfying bar.

Make a batch, slice it into bars, and keep them on hand for an easy breakfast, afternoon snack, or something to grab when you’re heading out the door.

Ingredients

1 bag Rip’s Big Bowl Banana Walnut Cereal
12 Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup natural peanut butter
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the Rip’s Big Bowl Banana Walnut Cereal to a blender or food processor and pulse until the larger pieces are broken down, leaving some texture. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
Add the dates, peanut butter, water, and ground flaxseed to the blender or food processor. Blend until a thick, sticky paste forms.
Add the date mixture to the cereal and stir until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Press and shape into an even rectangle approximately ½-inch thick, compacting the mixture firmly so the bars hold together.
Bake for 30 minutes, then allow to cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.
