Cereal Bars--How would you 'health-ify' this recipe?

[Happygrl]

I made these today and really liked the recipe, overall. Its too sweet, however, and I'd like to make them a bit healthier so I could count them more as a breakfast item than a dessert/treat. I'm not sure where to start, though, or if it could really be done.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey (I used half honey & half corn syrup b/c I'm not a big honey fan)
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used an organic natural PB)
3 cups toasted oats cereal (I used organic Os)
1 cup peanuts (optional)
*I also added a splash of vanilla

Combine sugar and honey over medium heat. Heat to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stir until smooth and well-combined. Stir in cereal to coat and, if desired, peanuts. Press into greased pan and let cool to firm.

The sugar/honey syrup mixture makes it a bit chewy.
