Easy and delicious. The kids loved it! Here are a few changes I made.I didn't have honey, so I added 1/2 cup corn syrup instead. Also substituted orange flavoring instead of vanilla (YUM). And last but not least,instead of 1/2 c wheat germ, I sis 1/4/ c wheat germ and 1/4 c flax seed.

YUM!!! I have tried these three times in the last week and based on other reviews I think the best combo is 1/2 all purpose flour, 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 oil, 1/2 apple sauce. My second batch had Craisins and the zest of a medium orange (added to the wet ingredients) as well as a splash of OJ. Those were AWESOME! Thanks for the recipe!

Very easy and flexible recipe, and very tasty! I used a mix of dried cranberries and raisins, added 3/4 cups of chocolate chips and a handful of sunflower seeds. Baked for a full 30 mins. Next time might try to bake at 20 to see if the bars are more chewy, but are still pretty chewy even at the 30 min mark.

These are delicious...bars. I would not call these granola bars. They are similar to a Quaker Breakfast Cookie, but better. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, but kept everything else. Also added 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. Thanks!

I know I'm going to sound picky, but to me this recipe as written was just too bland. It has great possibilities to be creative, just wish I would have done so with my first batch instead of sticking to the recipe like I did. Next time I would definitely increase the cinnamon and raisins, or go with combinations suggested by other reviewers.

I made the recipe with only minor changes (didn't have wheat germ and I threw in some pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and substituted dried cranberries for raisins). Even though I reduced the brown sugar a bit, I still found it too sweet for my tastes (which is often the case). Next time, I'll cut down to 1/4 cup and reduce the honey a bit too. A good base recipe that I can now tweak.

Wow! I used the basic recipe but left out the walnuts and instead added sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. They didn't even last a week in the house.

Very tasty granola bars! I omitted the nuts however, and it still came out moist, chewy and great!

Great! I subbed dried cranberries, coconut, and some finely chopped crystallized ginger, for the raisins & walnuts. The texture reminds me of a cliff bar, and it's not too sweet.

These were good, but a little cakey. I used dried cranberries in place of raisins and liked the flavor.

Soccer tournament: coach says 'healthy' boys want tasty. I took some guff for MAKING granola bars, but after our van full of boys and moms tasted these, I went from heel to hero. I did switch raisins to mini chips, other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. These are delicious and don't have the sticky-probably-chemical quality of store bought chewy granola bars. I'll be making these for all my kids' sport teams.

I've been searching for an oatmeal breakfast bar and finally found one that I like! I made a few modifications. I omitted the raisins and added approx 1/3 cup chocolate chips instead. I used whole wheat flour and I also replaced the oil with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. I will definitely make this recipe again. Yum!

I love this recipe! Only changes were substituting whole wheat flour, cutting brown sugar to 1/2 cup and using 1/2 cup crushed wheat chex in place of the wheat germ. Great snack for lunchboxes too! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!

Best bar recipe I've found on this site. I used regular oats (vs quick oats) and they were fine. Added coconut and choco chips to the mix and it turned out well. Cook only 20 minutes. Thank you :)

My bars turned out to be a little more than one-half inch thick. I took others' suggestions and replaced AP flour with whole wheat, used 2 eggs, and replaced honey with maple syrup. I don't know how much chewiness that extra egg really added. Next time I'll follow the recipe exactly and see how different the taste might be.

I love this recipe because it is so flexable, after making the base, you can put anything in it you want. I made one with dried fruit & nuts another with choclate chip & nuts & marshmallows. The chocolate chip ones turned out perfect but after cooling, the fruit & nut ones seemed too gooey...no problem, I just put them back in the oven and baked a bit more and they turned out just right. You can have them soft & chewy or a bit crispy, just depends on how long you leave them in the oven. Thank you for the recipe.

This was an awesome recipe! I did do some substitutes though. I didn't have any wheat germ. I added sesame seeds, flax seeds, and vanilla whey protein powder. I also used craisans and reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup due to the added sweetness of the protein powder.Loved it, this is the type of recipe that you can't mess-up.
