Replacing quick-cooking oats with fibre flakes in a bar recipe?

I want to make a granola bar recipe I found but I don't have any oats. Do you think an alternative that would actually work are those fibre flake cereal things? It would be a healthy thing, that's for sure, but is it cookable/won't break in the recipe? Specifically, what I'm making are apricot bars.

Actually, yes you can substitue the bran flakes. It is cookable but will probably be a bit more chewy.
