Granola Bars I

This recipe was delicious, though I changed it to be a bit healthier. I made all of the flour whole wheat, changed the shortening to margerine, and the dried cranberries to almonds. Plus I added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips too!

Not really what I was going for, but they tasted pretty good. VERY sweet. It was more like granola cake than granola bars. I certainly don't like boiling the cranberries. sure it softens them up, but I think they lose a lot of flavor.

My 13 year old daughter made this. A little bit crumbly, but very good. Will make again.

These were gone within a day of me making them. I also made some for friends at camp and they were gone as soon as they got them!

Spectacular my whole family loved them...even my picky 8 yr old...i subbed butterscotch chips for nuts ( school rules ) but everything else the same...just wonderful thank you.

Didn't add cranberrries or walnuts but did add chocolate chips and flaxseed. Yummy!

These are very good. Not exactly what you think of when thinking of a granola bar, but terrific!

I love love love this recipe. I was looking for a good sub. for Dutch Bros bars and found it. I added golden raisins, sunflower seeds and white chocolate. I left out the regualr raisins and walnuts. It only cost me approx. $10 for 3 batches.

Delicious!! Agree with others, more like a granola cake but still really great flavor. I think next time, I might try a larger pan it took a long time for this recipe to cook. I think in a 9x13 it with cook through better and maybe get a bit more crunchy. Easy to make and satisfies the sweet tooth.

I really liked the 'cakey' texture. I used dried cherries. The grandkids loved it!

really quite nice! Very cakey but excellent. I used coconut oil bc it was the only thing i had on hand and seemed to work OK. But this is less granola bar and more straight=up cake
