Good taste, but very crumbly. Wouldn't hold together at all.

Very good recipe. Altered it a bit, used ww flour like other's had, melted 1/2c no salt butter with 1/3c real peanut butter, 3/4c honey and 1/4c corn syrup also 1/2tsp salt, omitted the sugar. Also added 1/3c each of dried cranberries, dried apricots, rasins, pumpkins seeds, coconut, chopped pecans and choco.chips. Pressed it down halfway through baking like one other review had said and it came out great.

Love these they were more the quaker chewy granola bars than any other recipe I have tried. I did freeze them after I cut them up and just pulled them out as needed.

These were SOOO good. I have two children and a daycare, ALL THE KIDS LOVED THEM!! And so did I!! I used whole wheat flour, 1 cup butter, 1 cup honey and 1/3 cup splenda (instead of brown sugar). We didn't have choc chips, so I crushed up some m&m trail mix I had and they tasted so good. That was yesterday, they were such a hit, that I am making them again today with raisins... This is the first granola bar recipe I found that actually works - all of the ones in the past either fell apart or had a cake like texture... These are wonderful!!

My family loved these. I thought they were a little bit dry.

I was very disappointed in these, not at all what I think of as a granola bar. The Ingredients seem good but both my attempts turned the bars into mush. The first I used quick oats & WW Flour & added strawberry bits. They came out very dark and mushy,(assumed fault of the strawberries, quick oats, and overcooking) The recipe is rated well so I gave it another try this time with long cooking oats, and used dried fruit & nuts. I also added a dab of peanut butter for flavor and used less flour They still ended up crumbly but not as mushy--to my dismay the nuts and crispies still lost their crunch. :( These looked & tasted better before baking. After two failed attempts I'm moving on to look for a better cooking method.

These are delicious. I use extra butter and honey. I also melt the butter first. I love this recipe!

This recipe was difficult to use, even after reading reviews: texture like a cookie and crumbly. Next time I will increase maple syrup and honey, skip sugar, add whatever I want, isn't that where the fun is in making granola? You guys have great tips! Thanks

I read the reviews about them coming out to crumbly, and the mix looked really, really dry.. so I added some rice bran oil-- they were delicious, but still kind of falling apart (though not too bad)-- next time I would add the rice bran oil (for moistness) and I would double the honey (and skip the sugar) to try and have them stick together better. I also added chopped dates.

These were just okay. They are kinda "cakey" and my bars won't stay together. I baked for 25 minutes and they were slightly browned but maybe they needed longer in the oven. I was looking for a granola bar inbetween a nature valley and a quaker type. I won't make these again.

Wow. I decided to try this based on a friend's recommendation and I'm so glad I did because it instantly became a favorite. I read a few reviews and decided to press the bars into the pan as hard as possible and I liked the results. Yesterday, I used a cup of chocolate chips and a cup of Craisins, and since they are almost gone, am making them again today, this time trying another flavor combination. Thanks for such a great and easy recipe! Since my son is allergic to peanuts, we never buy the store bought bars, this way I can control the ingredients and the whole family will happily eat these!

i tweaked the recipe a little and they turned out tasty. I snuck a bite and they seemed a little dry when they first got out of the oven, but by the time they had cooled, the honey had worked it's magic and they had just the right amount of moistness. Here's the ingredient list I used: * 4 cups quick oats * 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 3/4 cup whole milk yogurt * 1 tablespoon oil * 3/4 cup honey * 2 tablespoons light molasses * 3/4 cups dark chocolate chips They were not crumbly at all. Following the instructions on when to cut and when to move the bars, might help those who have problems with the crumblies because 1. hot bars seem to like to stick to the pan more and 2.leaving them to cool for a couple hours gives the honey time to do it's magic, so they're moister than when they first come out of the oven.

Pretty good, It was a little to dry for me so I dropped a few things and added a few things to make it work for my taste.

These were a little bit crumbly, but overall a very good granola bar! I like to make my own so that I know exactly what I'm eating, and the crumbles were worth it. Next time I might bake a few minutes less for a softer texture.
