Considering this was my first attempt at making granola bars, I was pleased with the results. However, I wasn't so pleased that I would never consider a different recipe. My main dislike had to do with the sweetness. With all that sugar and honey, these bars are very sweet. It's fine if you are looking for a cookie dessert type of thing, but maybe not so great for a healthy snack. If you can get past that, then make them. They are fast to whip up and make a good sweet treat.

Incredible! I was looking for something that would rival chewy store-bought, and this recipe did it! My boyfriend is allergic to nuts, but I had no trouble substituting! Just used 1 1/4 cups of a variety of dried fruits, etc. in place of raisins and walnuts. Awesome!

We like these a lot. They are soft and chewy. I used 1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil. Also used peanuts instead of walnuts and 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed instead of wheat germ. Turned out very nicely baking for 20 minutes.

I have just thrown these in the oven and thought I better right down the changes before I forget, because I think they will be good! I used 1/2 cup spelt flour, 1/2 cup kamut flour, instead of 1 cup white. 1/2 cup brown, 1/3 cup coconut, 1/3 cup walnut, 1/2 60% cocoa chocolate chips and 1/4 cup hemp seed. 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup applesauce and the rest was kept the same. Can't wait to get them cut up,yum. Well they are cool enough!! The best granola bar recipe I have made..Thank you

Good recipe and super easy to make. I baked this as written and will definitely make again but with some variations as suggested by other reviewers. It was a bit bland otherwise so I definitely recommend adding more but since this recipe is loaded with possibilites, it will be easy to spice up to my family's specifications. I also recommend baking for 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

Good flavor. Easy to make. Texture seems a bit cakey if made according to the directions. Upon making these a multiple times, I've used applesauce instead of oil, adding extra liquid. If they seem to moist before baking, I add extra old-fashioned oats. Other substitutions: 1 c. old-fashioned oats for 1 c. quick cooking oats; whole wheat flour for flour; craisins for the raisins

These granola bars are delicious and easy to make. Instead of oats, raisins, and nuts I used a fruit & nut muesli. It worked really well and reduced the number of ingredients I had to buy, measure, and mix. It also added a variety of nuts, dried fruits, and even had coconut shavings and sunflower seeds in it. I reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup and they were still quite sweet. I plan to send these to work with my husband for quick and easy breakfasts or snacks.

We love this recipe! We will never purchase granola bars from a store again. I replaced the egg with Ener-G Egg Replacer, and it worked great. Ener-G is a great egg alternative in baking for vegans.

My son has Type 1 diabetes so I try to use Stevia in place of sugar for making his snacks. Well, it came out great! This is what I used: 2c. long cooking oats, 1c. freshly milled wheat flour, a little less than 2 Tbs. of Stevia powder, 1c.raisens, 1/2c. Wheat Germ, 1/2 tsp.sea salt, 1 tsp.cinnamon, 1/2c.pecans, 2/3c.Coconut Oil, 1/2c.Honey, 1 whole egg and 2tsp vanilla extract. He loves them and so do we! I will add some extras next time to try to give him a little variations. I did use a lot of suggestions from other reviewers and felt like I made a successful granola bar. I baked mine in a 9x13 stone (bar pan), they came out thin and more like a nature valley granola bar-crunchy but not TOO crunchy. I used parchement paper for a liner. Awesome recipe and I will be making this a lot for sure! Thanks for recipe and all of the suggestions!

These were VERY easy to make, and taste great! Much better than the store-bought bars. They are a *touch too sweet for my taste, so I may reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup next time. I left out the nuts (personal preference) and didn't have wheat germ, so I smashed up some Grape-Nuts cereal in its place. I cut them with a pizza cutter while they were still warm, made it very easy. Delicious!

Very good!!! I had no problem with these holding together and the texture is perfect. I did reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup per one reviewer's suggestion and substituted pecans for the walnuts (I'm allergic to walnuts...). Overall, a recipe I'll use again and again to avoid the high cost of prepackaged bars and the preservatives in them. I do plan to experiment with chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc.

This recipe has endless variations. I took the suggestions of several other of the reviewers and adjusted the honey, oil, etc. Overall it was okay. It is definitely worth a try. I always use my kids to guage the success of a recipe. They weren't too crazy about this one. I liked it though if that counts:-)
