Granola Bars


I've been contemplating making my own granola bars for quite some time, and seeing these on Smitten Kitchen was just the push I needed to finally give them a try.

These are chewy, delicious, and so easy to make.

The recipe is here. Changes I made are as follows: I used pecans; for the dried fruit, I used half figs and half goji berries; I substituted agave for the honey; I substituted oat bran for wheat germ. I also added the butter that Deb left out.

They are fantastic, and so easy to adapt to so many different flavors. I'll definitely keep this recipe in the files.

  2. I have always wanted to make granola bars too. I'll have to try them soon- we are going on vacation in a couple weeks and they would be perfect to pack as snacks!

  7. I can't wait to try these, I just bought the Barefoot Contessa book they're in and flagged the recipe. I love that you can totally adapt them to your own tastes.

  8. Yours turned out great. I made these a couple weeks ago (my first homemade granola bars) and hubby and I loved them. Will have to post it on my blog soon, with my changes!
