    Great recipe. I made these in mini-muffin tins to make them easy to take to work to share with others. I used paper muffin papers-next time I'll skip that as the paper stuck to the bars.

    sorry furiousgeorge--I modified them too. I used Splenda Brown sugar in place of the regular brown sugar and ground flax seed for the wheat germ.

    My wife and I love these. I hate it when people always post that they changed the recipe but I'm about to do it. I used coconut oil in place of butter and flax seed in place of wheat germ. Really this is a great base recipe to start working out from. I used dried figs as well which were great. I think next time I might try subbing molasses for honey to see how the flavor changes.

    These turned out wonderful. I thought they might have failed since they seemed really crumbly when we first tried them(still warm and tempting, but by the time they cooled completly they were solid!! very very good. Perfect amount of sweet. I also watched the video and got a few more tips on making them.

    Really good bars. I added and changed a few things: Added almond extract (1 tsp cardamon (2 tsp and substituted wheat germ with amaranth since I could not find any wheat germ. Amaranth is really quite good for you as well!

    Very Tasty. I also put about 1/2 cup chopped pecans and I substituted Flaxseed for Wheat Germ. These have become a staple in our house. Husband and kids adore them.

    delicious flavor. the bars did not hold together at all. some of the other commenter mention cooking the honey for longer... this is what I will try next time. in the meantime, I have trail mix to eat.

    These bars are really good! I'm so used to eating store bought bars I never knew a granola bar could taste so fresh and have so much flavor. I'm not sure why people complained about the sweetness. I did not find them overly sweet at all. I will be making these again and again without changing a single ingredient. I do however enjoy a chewier bar. So I may decrease the cook time by 5 minutes or so next time.

    Great recipe! I too, cooked the honey/sugar mix until it was foamy and no longer grainy. I substituted unsweetened coconut flakes for the sunflower seeds I used dried apricots, pineapple, and cranberries. It all seemed a bit sweet so I added 1 teaspoon spice via chipotle chile pepper power. PACK THEM DOWN WELL with greased spoon before the oven for best results. I think the negative reviews missed this step and didn't let the honey cook long enough. These can be made into smaller bars because they are so nutritionally dense and satisfying. Thanks Alton for the recipe! Awesome as usual!

    This recipe is great!! I added some peanut butter and less sugar but woohoo,. One of the biggest problems I have had while eating healthy is my snacking. This wonderful recipe and wonderful site is making it easy for me to pick the right snacks!!!

    Alton's recipes are usually the acme of culinary chemistry. This recipe confirms that! Since I think one shouldn't rate a recipe that wasn't followed to the letter, I am rating the actual recipe. This is the best granola EVER! The cherries (among the other ingredients make is so sweet and chewy! I take it to my high school students when we go ice skating over the holidays. Thank you so much Alton for doing the research for us! Saves us all a great deal of time in the kitchen. Gotta love the guy! p.s. the photo looks awful! Gotta fix that y'all
