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:-)

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!
