Very good! My husband wanted a healthy breakfast bar and this is perfect. I'd like to figure out a way to boost the fiber though. Anyway, they're so good I think I'll be making them on a weekly basis!

These were pretty good. I added 2 T peanut butter and probably 2 T of extra apple sauce, the extra apple sauce probably wasn't needed. Instead of wheat flour I used chocolate protein powder and milled flax seed. Although these were healthy and pretty good they were not well received by my family. They love the Gobble Up Granola Snacks on this site and were a little disappointed with these. But I'll have no problem eating them all. If I ever do make these again I think I would try replacing the applesauce with pumpkin butter just for fun.

My daughter made these bars for our county fair and won top honors. The judges were impressed with the nutritional value as well as the taste and texture.

I made oatmeal cookies for a neighbor with crisco, sugar, the whole nine yards and then I made these. I ate both and these were so much tastier! Really moist, I ommited the sugar all together and they were still plenty sweet! I wll be making them again today with soynuts, walnuts, dried cranberrys and organic peanut butter. It is a great base recipe and makes a super healthy snack for my hungry kids to eat after school. I am so glad I found this!

This is a great recipe! I used protein powder instead of flour, and also added flaked coconut, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and craisins (instead of the dried fruit). They turned out delicious! There are lots of things you can do with this recipe. I will definately be making these again!

These are the best granola bars ever! I'm not sure if they dry out over time because they never seem to last long enough. I have yet to follow the recipe exactly, but that seems to be okay. I've substituted rice crispies for the Grape Nuts, and 10 grain cereal (the kind that makes hot cereal), and I used dried cranberries and strawberries, and a handfull of chocolate chips.

I thought this was a great recipe. There are so many things you can do with them. I used chopped roasted almonds instead of the walnuts and fruit was an organic dried fruit mix. Next time I think I'll add some tart dried cherries. Really is awesome and filling too. It makes a good breakfast bar.

Way good! I doubled the applesauce and bars really had a great texture. Used sesame seeds, almonds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins. Would be great with any seed/nut/dried fruit combination.

This was okay. The flavor was nice, the texture was not chewy at all though, and mine did not look like the ones in the picture. It just did not ressemble a granola bar at all. I can't understand what I did wrong that everybody said theirs came out chewy...

My boys (3 & 6 yrs old) ate this OK, but it is far from their favorite. At a glance, the ingredients suggest a healthy breakfast / snack bar - but it is lacking in something.

I made these without all the nuts and dried fruit cuz I didn't have any and used 2 cups of unsweetened wheat puffs instead of the 2 other cereals and I added chocolate chips. I also followed another reviewer that said to add 2 TBS of protein whey powder and 3 TBS of peanut butter. My husband, who usually can't stand anything made with oatmeal ate the entire pan. He said they were far better than any granola bar from the store. I also used a 9 in pan lined with sprayed foil and didn't have a problem with sticking. Great recipe. Can't wait to try with fruits and nuts.

I love this recipe. My husband is on his way home from work he gets very grouchy because he is hungry. I hated spending the big bucks on a box of air (granola bars) and he was never satisfied with them. I came across your recipe and have made them ~ well I make them 3 times a week and he eats them on his way home. My husband loves these and says they are filling. I will never buy another box of air for the big bucks agian!!This recipe is so versatile that I make it several ways. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

This is an awesome basic recipe! I used pureed mango in place of the applesauce and craisins for the dried fruit. Will try again with dried cherries, without nuts, and corn syrup in place of honey so I can feed it to my toddler.

Loved this recipe. Changed a bit. Used organic cherry-apple butter in place of apple sauce. Also added organic dried cherries and toasted almonds. Just for an added sweet treat I also added semi sweet choco chips. Makes them very appealing to the kids! They came out delicious!! Other variation was mashed banana in place of apple sauce, dried banana chips and walnuts. Also came out great. It's such a great recipe because it's so flexible!!

Its nice to find a homemade granola bar recipe that actually sticks together. The ones I have tried are pretty crumbly. Very tasty.
