Here you go:

This is a good starting points.

HONEY NO BAKE BREAKFAST BAR 1 1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
1 c. honey
3/4 c. brown sugar 5 c. bran or oat flake dry cereal
3 (1oz.) pkg. (1 c.) dried fruit pieces

Combine peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar in large
saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat. Quickly stir in cereal and fruit bits. Mix
well. Using buttered spatula or waxed paper, press
mixture evenly into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch dish sprayed with
non-stick cooking spray. Cool 15 minutes before cutting.
Makes 18 bars.

CHOCOLATE BREAKFAST BAR 2 tbsp. hot black coffee 1 tbsp.
chunky peanut butter 1 pkg. Alba chocolate shake
4/4 oz. uncooked oatmeal 2 tbsp. raisins

Using a fork, in small mixing bowl combine coffee (or
water) and peanut butter, mixing until peanut butter is
softened; add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly
(mixture will be stiff and sticky). Transfer mixture to
sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap and using hands, press
mixture together and shape into a log about 5 inches long
and 1 1/2 inches wide. Tightly wrap log in the wax paper
or plastic wrap and freeze overnight. Remove from freezer
about 1 hour before serving and store in refrigerator.

BREAKFAST FOOD BAR

1 c. sugar 1 c. cream 1 c. white Karo syrup 5 c. cornflakes
2 c. Rice Chex 1 c. blanched peanuts

Cook sugar, cream and syrup to "soft ball" stage. Pour over
cereal and peanuts. Mix and press into cake pan. Cool
before cutting.

PEANUT BUTTER BREAKFAST BAR

1 c. dry oatmeal
5/3 c. dry milk
6/4 c. chunky peanut butter 2 bananas (ripe) 4 tsp. honey
1 tsp. each baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon 2
tsp. vanilla

Mash bananas and combine all ingredients; mix well. Put in
Pam sprayed 8" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25
minutes. 4 servings.

With the exception of the last one (the peanut butter
breakfast bar), aren't they rather sweet with all that
sugar/corn syrup/honey?

I make "energy bars" for taking along on bike trips.
Basically they're various seeds and nuts (e.g., toasted
almonds, sunflower seeds, whatever else I have around)
sometimes mixed with toasted quick cooking oatmeal (not
instant), held together by dates and raisins (first made
into a thick paste by putting them through the food
processor). Everything gets mixed together and pressed
into bars.

Okay, I don't eat such. I don't make such BUT, I got a
suggestion that someone who does want a breakfast bar might
want to check out and make some modifications to make it
more bar-like.

Passover food - Haroset - Delicious! There are numerous
recipies for it on the Internet. I've made it and used it as
a topping for Biscotti! It contains most of what everyone is
suggesting just needs a binder to make it more stable.
