i make these for my boyfriends rotc group and they love them...i leave out the fruit, add more nuts and cut the honey down a little and to make them easier to hand out, i cook them in sprayed muffin pans...they love them and ask me for them all the time

Very delicious!

These power bars taste great! I followed the recipe, plus I added cranberries, raisans and dried apples to the mix. The bars came out moist and tasty, and have lasted a long time in the fridge per the recomendation. They are great for breakfast on the go. I will def make these again in the near future.

Wasn't bad. I did add chocolate chips to sweeten it a little. I thought let were dry but my Husband loved them.

Really good - i had problems with mine being too crumbly, but even as a granola style snack, it is really good and filling. I was a little speculative about the grape nuts, but the recipe was just great!

Really delicious. High in calories, but great for a camping power breakfast. Carried me through a long bike ride! I really like the tart flavor of cranberries instead of dates.

This recipe is fantastic! I have a child that has nut allergies, so I put in pumpkin seeds(shelled), sunflower seeds, and cranberries or chocolate chips.

Excellent but I would chop up the fruit more next time

A really good, versatile recipe. I used all organic ingredients to really boost the nutritional value. I also added a bag of trail mix that had nuts, coconut, and dried fruit all in one. It is very hearty and a great energy snack for my active family.

These were OK. I was looking for a decent oatmeal or cereal bar to eat for breakfast. I like "Granola Bars III" much better.

Delicious! Perfect for toddlers, and snacks on the go. Substituted half of the flour with protein powder, eliminated the brown sugar, added flax seeds, almond slivers raisins and cranberries. Will try adding a bit of peanut butter next time!

These are amazing! FYI I added a generous tablespoon of LSA mix, handful of hazelnuts and some diabetic sugar in compensation of brown. I also just used a LowGI "clumped" muesli with dried blueberries. I will look harder when shopping next time for some wheat and barley. But thank you!

Yum! Made a chocolate version so I changed things a bit: 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1/8 cup of flax seed, 1/8 cup of wheat germ. Kept the grapenuts the same, and omitted the cinnamon for vanilla extract. Lined with parchment paper instead of foil to save on spraying w/ oil (less fat). Awesome! The combinations are endless....

It was very filling. I dont think we were crazy about the taste or texture. It was soft and messy. I wish it held it's shape better more like a bar. Not sure if i will make it again.

This is GREAT!! I followed the recipe exactly and everyone loves it! I think I might change up the nuts and add a bit more brown sugar next time, but it is otherwise a great recipe!!

I've made these several times over the past two weeks and have really enjoyed being able to swap out the major flavor makers. The first batch was by the recipe using dried cranberries for the fruit and sliced almonds for the nuts. I added in a little coconut and left out the sunflower seeds b/c I didn't have any. They came out good - but these are VERY HIGH FIBER! Just so you know! My husband didn't care for the flavor of the first batch. He requested a second which I just made with: pumpkin seeds, dried goji berries, ground flax seeds(in place of 1/2 of the flour), a little coconut and a handful of whole almonds. There wasn't enough crunch in the first batch for him - so these are perfect. I almost doubled the cinnamon too since there are a lot of flavors going on and I think it goes nicely with the nuttiness of the flax. I made a batch with chocolate chips and coconut (coconut oil in place of vegetable) for my 5 & 3 year old with great success - next time I'll leave out the cinnamon with that one though. I also made a tropical version for me with dried papaya, pineapple and coconut. Thank you for a great basic recipe that is SO quick, easy and healthful. Play around to make it suit your taste and health needs!

I followed another review and increased the applesauce to 3/4 cup and used dried cherries for the fruit, almonds for the nuts, egg beaters for the egg and did not add the sunflower seeds. I can see where you have a lot of room for playing around with ingredients and the result will probably always turn out great. My 11 y.o. son who doesn't like oatmeal loved these and it's good to know that I can have a healthy treat for him that's easy to make!
