My wife turned me loose to do the recipe. I thought it was a test. Somehow I completed the task and they were great. I just love throwing the “mix-in’s” together to see if I can tell the difference between batches! PS ALWAYS use combo of honey and maple syrup for sweetner.

Hi Chris, Bars keep well for several days at room temperature, a couple of weeks in the fridge, or several months in a freezer-safe bag in the freezer for best flavor.

Almond butter worked very well for me. The trick here is to make sure everything is finely processed and it’s packed tight. Then the oats and butter should hold everything together. I had mine in the fridge for two days before cutting and they turned out great.

Hi Emily, I prefer peanut butter that is sugar free and palm oil free.

Absolutely Fabulous!!! I had pureed dates (AKA date caramel) on hand so used that for sweetener, along with dried tart cherries, hemp and pumpkin seeds, walnuts and sliced almonds (what I had in the pantry at the moment). Fantastic base recipe and I love all the ideas for different add ins! These will be a staple in the freezer for when the cravings hit or a post workout snack. Thank you so much for all you do Kate!

Thank you for replying. By adding more syrup and honey they were a little better. I did push them down hard in the pan. I think maybe I didn’t crush up all the ingredients small enough. I only had a small food processor. Will give them a try again. I enjoy all the yummy recipes you give.

Hi Gail, sorry these didn’t turn out for you! Did you check the granola bar tips section of the recipe? These really make a difference. Chopping, really packing in the mix to avoid air bubbles, in addition the cooling and slicing instructions are helpful.
