Savory Puffed Rice Granola Bar Ingredients
Curry powder in a granola bar?! I know, it sounds weird, but I promise it’s really good. The curry pairs perfectly with the rest of the salty and sweet ingredients, like peanut butter, coconut, and dried mango!
Here’s what you’ll need to make these savory puffed rice granola bars:
- puffed rice cereal
- oats
- peanut butter
- honey
- coconut
- dried mango
- pistachios
- cashews
- ground ginger
- curry powder
How to Make Puffed Rice Granola Bars
Like many of my other bar recipes, these are no bake (see also the most popular recipe on my blog: 5 Minute No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars) and come together quickly.
Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Then, stir together until well-combined.
If you’re having trouble getting the peanut butter/honey mixture to blend, you can heat it for about a minute on low in the microwave to soften it up before adding it to the dry ingredients.
Then, press into a pan, refrigerate for about an hour to harden them up, and slice into bars!

These bars are packed with nutrition and sure to keep you satisfied. Lots of healthy fat and some protein from all the nuts, and fiber from the oats and fruit!
