I really like this recipe. Very easy and a healthy alternative to store-bought granola bars! Instead of wheat germ I used Ground Flax Seed and Hemp Hearts and Craisins in place of raisins as well as almonds instead of walnuts. I also took the advice from another reviewer and added 1/2 the amount of oil replacing the other half with applesauce. Next time I will remove the oil all together and strictly use applesauce.

I forgot to add the brown sugar and I used pistacio nuts instead of walnuts. Although it was a bit crumbly they were really tasty! I will make them again!

This recipe was pretty good. (not sure where the picture came from though - mine didn't look like biscuits or cake - more like granola bars) But anyway, I upped the cinnamon to 1 tsp, added coconut flakes & pumpkin pie spice, eliminated the egg (not sure it was necessary & I am allergic to egg protein). Really nice bars, a little on the sweet side. I think next time I will follow some of the other reviewers suggestions and add a little less brown sugar, and maybe a little less oil too - it seemed to come out just a little bit oily - but then again that could have been me going overboard on the non-stick spray too I suppose... I didn't have parchment paper handy this go 'round. Will probably use a little less oil next time anyway to try to balance out the coconut and make sure that wasn't the issue. At any rate, a keeper. Thanks for the recipe!

These are nice, although they have a slightly cakey texture and could be improved. I cut down the sugar and it was plenty sweet!

Wonderful recipe, thank you! I decreased the amount of honey slightly and added 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts for a crunchier peanut butter taste; they disappeared!

Love these! Instead of walnuts and raisins I substituted 1 1/4 cup of trail mix. I'll be making these as a healthy alternative to cookies for the holidays.

This recipe was great. I was looking for something tht was tasty but still heathy. This hit the spot. I add pecans insted of walnuts and not at much honey as the recipe called for. I thought that would be a bit to sweet. They still turned out great even with not as much liquid. Thank for the recipe!

These are so sweet they burnt my throat! Terrible!! I would cut out the sugar totally and just use the natural sweetness of the honey.

This recipe is fantastic! The variations truly are endless! As other posts mentioned the applesauce was a nice touch. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. In one batch I used rice krispys for a different texture. We love cinnamon so I used extra in the mix. I tried dried pineapple and loved it. Play with the recipe and enjoy!!

These came out with a perfect texture - chewy and delicious. Everyone loved them. I did find they were sweet (not that the kids or my husband minded), and next time will try reducing the sugar. I have found the trick for granola bars is to press them VERY firmly into the pan for those who have difficulty with them holding together. Also, I used a 7x11 pan as it didn't seem to be filling out a 9x13 pan well enough, and cooked for 25 minutes. Mine looked much like the first picture except I added chocolate chips.

Taste pretty good, but crumbled almost completely when I tried to cut into bars ... I ended up making "granola bites" instead of bars ... so, next time, I will probably try a different recipe, as I am interested in finding and making a great granola *bar* ... but, still, they did taste okay.

mmm... i used only 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and replaced half the oil with molasses. Sweet, but not overly so.

These bars are great and very easy to make. My daughter's school is nut-free, so I replace the nuts with whatever combination of dried fruit and oats works. I also add skim milk powder, replace some of the fat with applesauce, and bake them for only 20 minutes. Kids love them, especially when I use dried cherries.

Loved this recipe! I made some substitutions and additions though. Used whole wheat flour instead of regular, trail mix instead of nuts, and added 1/2 c apple butter, 1/4 c peanut butter, and 1/4 c chocolate peanut butter chips. When putting it in the pan I spread half of it out, then put a thin layer of raspberry preserves, and put the rest of the mix on top. Super chewy and sweet- just what we needed for our 7 mile hike!

This is an awesome base recipe. I made them last night and they're already half gone! Here are the changes I made: * reduced brown sugar to 1/4 cup * substituted 1/2 of applesauce for the oil * used 1 cup raisins * used 1/2 cup walnuts, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds It wasn't too sweet at all and the perfect chewiness and texture! A bit bland, though. I would suggest a darker honey or more cinnamon for more flavour next time.
