This recipe is wonderful, I had to modify a little because my son can't have eggs or peanut butter or dairy. So I used flax gel in place of egg and almond butter in place of peanut butter, and in place of butter I use coconut oil...it is terrific and addicting! I keep in refrigerator, otherwise it will fall apart maybe because of coconut oil..TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

Absolutely delicious! Everyone loved them! I did make a few changes to the original recipe: first, I did not have the odd shaped pan size as suggested in the recipe so I used a 9x13 pan I had on hand; secondly, I added dried cranberries (Yum! and finally, I did not refrigertate the granola after baking. I found that leaving the pan on the counter for a few hours did the trick. I also pressed the granola mixture really well into the pan before baking. I really beleive this helped keep the granola in tack when I took it out of the pan and cut it into pieces before serving.

The recipe itself is VERY yummy, but even after cooking it for 30 minutes, it still didn't firm up. It tasted more like a dessert bar than a granola bar. I will be hunting for a good granola bar recipe, but will keep this one in mind for a yummy dessert idea.

Fell apart. They never hardened. Wasted my time.

Overall this was a pretty good recipe. It was a little bit too sweet for me to call it a true granola bar, but it wasn't as sweet as a cookie, so it seemed to be a good mix. Like another review I read, I used a muffin tin to make these (regular sized, not mini, and it made 10 servings. I recommend this method because I didn't have any trouble with them crumbling like some of the others had trouble with. I also only used about 2/3 of a stick of butter, and I could've probably gotten by with only 1/2 stick.

Great ingredients but even though I baked these bars an extra 4 minutes, (they didn't look brown enough after 15, and after cooling 1 hour, they fell apart. I have put them in the fridge hoping they will hold together better when I attempt to cut them again. Not happy with this recipe and unless I adjust the ingredients, I won't make these again.

These were super easy and are delicious! My husband and 2 year old agree! My 2 year old had a lot of fun helping me make these, and we all think they are awesome! I looked at the reviews before making, and made a few adjustments accordingly. I added 1/4 cup of ground flax (because, why not try and make it a little healthier...and I had it on-hand so I went for it and I added about a 1/4 cup of dried cherries. We pressed the granola mixture into a mini-muffin tin, and it was just the right amount to make 24. By using the mini-muffin tin we have perfect portions and haven't had any of the crumbliness others have complained about. Not to mention, they are adorable as granola mini muffins!

These bars are pretty good. I used canola oil instead of butter because i don't like butter. I used less than 1/3cup of canola oil, 1/2 cup is DEF WAY TOOO MUCH!!! Next time i'll use 1/4 or less than that. THey were way too oily! I also added 1/3 cup flour along with the 2 cups oats. I didn't add the almonds because i'm not a fan of almonds and they hurt my teeth, so i figured i'd not add them and save some calories. I baked them in a 8x8 dish for about 18 min but they could have probably gone a little longer. Mine didn't fall apart like others sad their had. I really like them because they're not sugary tasting as some granola bars, they're kind of like a cookie but not so sugary or fattening i guess. I was gonna aid some flaxseed but i forget but next time i plan on doing that. Does anyone know how many calories these have?

good bars but it has to much butter and no flour to bind them together. i baked them for the time on the recipe and let them cool a good hour and they still fell apart. i think that you need the whole egg, less butter! and flour to bind them together and perhaps a little longer baking time.
they taste great but they are all just a gooey peanut oat mess!

Great recipe!! Quick tip: Cook for 28 min. helps them become frimer. Also,for extra nutrition put some dried fruit in. Deliciosity!!
