A maleable recipe that turns out great! I have subsituted corn syrup for the honey until my little one was a year old, eliminated the nuts (for the kids) and used whole wheat flour and they turn out great every time. The alterations change the texture from the original recipe, but all are good!

Great Toddler Recipe. Most toddlers are picky, I think mine are exceptionally picky :) and they loved these. Not to mention you can add any type of dried fruit or nuts depending on they like and what is age appropriate. This recipe is full of good stuff... an extra egg like one reviewer stated not only makes them softer but adds extra protein along with the wheat germ which toddlers never seem to get enough of... :) Also an easy and fun recipe for your toddler to help dump ingredients and mix. My 3 year old is very proud of cooking her "bars". They're a great recovery snack for my teenager after hockey, we add extra wheat germ in her batch. And last but not least they taste great! Thanks for the geat recipe! They're a hit around our house and the hockey rinks!

These bars are good, even right out of the oven:)I didn't give them 5 stars because I'd like them a little thicker so I can pack only 1 for my husband for bkfst.Also read reviews and played around for the first batch. I added 1/2C applesauce and 1/4C oil, also added 1/2C peanut butter, 1/2C flax seed, 1/2C wheat germ. 1/4C dark chocolate,Only 1/2/c brown sugar and 2 eggs...1/2C craisins. I also pressed a pan into them 20 mins into cooking and then again after they came out 7 minutes later. Let cooled for 10min and use a PIZZA CUTTER to cut them into bars(Worked Great) next time will make bigger batch and cook lower for longer so they're thicker. Plus throw in nuts or seeds (which I didn't have on hand) and maybe Kashi or organic brand of rice puffed cereal, probably 1C.....Hope the family gets a chance to try..I may eat them before they get home..ymmmmm

These were tasty! A bit gooey, but that was better than being dry. I left off the nuts and raisins and went straight for mini-chocolate chips. I also used less sugar.

This was a great recipe. Much better than the other ones on the site. I didn't have walnuts, so I used toasted pecans and they were great. I'll be making these again for sure.

I LOVE this as a base recipe!! I have made these about a dozen times and have made a few changes to make them a higher protein bar. I sub. the flour for half whole wheat flour and half vanilla soy protein powder. I sub the oil for apple butter or unsweetened applesauce. I use 1/4 cup b.sugar. I chop up walmart trail mix for nuts and dried fruit. Its alot cheaper and I always have it on hand. The tropical trail mix has alot more dried fruit in it. And last, I double the recipe and put in a cookie sheet. COmes out great. Have fun with this recipe. The possibilities are endless!!

I have made these many times since finding this recipe & it is the best granola recipe I have tried! Each time it's perfect and fantastic! I have made them for myself the first time with Old Fashioned Oats and they were scrumptious, my husband who hates walnuts ate these up with me then and wanted more. (I did not tell them walnuts were in them!!) I made them again with the Quick Oats and without Raisins and also other times and wow, these are so gorgeous and delicious! I do increase the Vanilla to 1 Tablespoon and the Cinnamon to 1 heaping teaspoon. My husband says the house smells like Christmas when I make thse! I love to make them, its so easy and they are indeed nutritious!! These are wonderful. Mine are done in exactly 22 minutes. I pull them out of the oven and immediately slice them up into nice bars. Then I wait for them to cool & the uneven ends I toss into a tupperware container so we can snack as we want on these smaller ends. I also put about 8 bars in each sandwich freezer bags together for each of us. I label the freezer bags with his or mine & when we are running out we simply pull out a bag of our own granola bars! YUM! Simply wonderful. The last time I made mine I replaced molasses for the honey in the recipe and you know the taste is the same. Maybe its just me. These are delicious, not really sweet at all and just wonderful. It is a full proof recipe! The next time I make them I will add some peanut butter! Thank you for posting!

Maybe its because I used old fashioned oats instead of the quick kind, or large eggs; but I did not enjoy these. Suprisingly, they weren't that sweet, and it was alot like eating a very bland oatmeal cookie.

This recipe is amazing. I tried other granola bars from this site this one is by far the best. The flavor is outstanding! I used craisins, walnuts and white chocolate chips. Also subbed applesauce for half of the oil. Very, very good.

I've had this recipe sitting around for YEARS and finally decided to pick up some wheat germ and try them. OMG!!! What was I waiting for? These are so delicious you could serve them as dessert bars. It was the first 80 degree day in MN and the neighborhood kids were biking by and all got to try one. They loved them even with walnuts and craisens. I can't wait to make more different varieties. Thanks for an excellent, super quick, easy, delicious recipe.

These are great! Did use 1/2 the oil called for and made up the difference with applesauce. Wonderful! Add any mixture of dried fruit you like and any kind of nut you like. These are great!

These are so easy and good! I substituted chocolate chunks for the raisins because my husband doesn't like them. They made the whole house smell wonderful while they were baking, and my hubby loved them. I'll definitely be making these again!

I read about all the granola bars on this site and chose to make these. They turned out great! I read lots of the reviews and ended up doing 1/2 white and 1/2 whole wheat flour, sub. flax meal for part of the wheat germ, adding an extra egg, putting in a little less sugar, doing part maple syrup and part honey, adding orange zest and juice to the wet ingredients, adding a little more cinnamon, subbing half applesauce for half of the oil, using a little almond extract because I didn't have vanilla, and most importantly (I think) changing one cup of oatmeal to old fashioned instead of quick. I used raisins and craisins and baked for about 25 minutes. The family loves them and are ready to take them on our car trip tomorrow!

This is the 3rd granola bar recipe I have tried and it's a toss between this one and the Easy Granola Bars recipe. These tasted great when still slightly warm out of the oven, but a day later they are pretty crunchy. I added half the recommended sugar and also felt that there was too much "batter" (for lack of a better term) for the size of the pan the recipe calls for so I used a longer casserole dish, 9X20, and it almost filled the entire container.

Great recipe, huge hit, I make them regularly. I always double the recipe and bake in 9x13 pan to make them extra thick. I like to substitute pancake syrup for honey, I always have more of that on hand.

It was really good, quite tasty yet healthy. At first I thought they are a bit hard, but they become better next day. I used old-fashioned oats and substituted sunflower seeds for nuts. I was gonna use it as a 'post-workout' snack, so I didn't use the sugar, but added about a 1/2 cup of fructose and used only 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of vanilla protein powder (glad I did cause it actually added very nice strong vanilla ice-cream flavour to them:)) and omited vanilla extract at all. As I said, it was tasty, pleasantly chewy and sweet.

Hi, this recipe is awesome! I did make some modifications though after reading some reviews. My updated recpe is below: • 2 cups quick cooking oats • 1 cup whole wheat flour • 1/4 c. white sugar- didnt have any brown sugar left :( • 3/4 cup cranberries • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 cup pumpkin and sunflower seeds • ¼ c. applesauce, ¼ c. vegetable oil (i used melted margarine to sub. for oil, i was out of that too!) • 1/2 cup honey • 2 eggs • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract • ¾ c. chocolate chips They turned out delicious, every one in the house loved them! Next time I will try to make it more healthy.. no chocolate:( and try adding protein powder.
