Homemade cereal bars

As school is starting soon, I am looking for healthy snacks that I can put in my kids school bags - hoping to prevent them from eating those ready made Greek pitas when they get hungry, as they consist mainly of fat and white flour. Yummy, but of absolutely no nutritious value. Not what you need to keep the brain working!

So I am trying out homemade cereal bar recipes - I made these with oat flakes, peanuts, sesame seed and some Greek nuts that I don´t know what are called in English (or any other language, for that´s sake).  Next time I´ll add almonds and dry fruit. Basically, you can use any kind of cereals, nuts and seeds you like. Then you need the "glue" - I used tahini, brown raw cane sugar,  honey and butter. Tahini could be replaced with peanut butter and drop the honey if you don´t like it.
First of all, I mashed the nuts in the mortar (you can also put them in a plastic bag and roll the baking pin over). Then I put the seeds, oat flakes and the mashed nuts in a baking tray and let in the oven on 200 C/400 F to roast, taking the tray out a few times to shake the content. It takes 15-20 minutes for the cereals to get slightly brown.
Close the oven, add the cereals to a bowl. In a frying pan, melt sugar, honey, tahini and butter. Then mix very well with the cereals, even using your hands. Put a sheet of baking paper in a tray and add the cereals. Cover with a baking sheet and press the mass as well together as possible - you don´t want it to dissolve when you cut it.
Leave in the fridge to cool. Remove from tray and cut into slices. The slices can be wrapped in plastic ready to take with you, or store in a cake tin.
