"I'm no longer sure of the source for this recipe...not that I followed the original anyway! I am boycotting corn syrup now and needed an energy bar that I could make at home! This recipe is easy and versatile...and everyone in my family will eat these bars! No butter and no sugar! But soooo good!"

Love this recipe! Great to keep you satisfied for a long time. I have made this recipe several times using the exact ingredients but now I have made a couple of changes. Using almond butter instead of peanut butter and because I am trying to cut down on calories, I use about half a cup of honey and one small tub of applesauce to make one cup of honey/applesauce combo, which makes the bars a little more moist. This is now one of my staple recipes, i will never buy another store bought granola bar unless I am desperate!

Pretty good recipe; mine were a bit dry so I stirred in some milk to get it to adhere.

These were good, if perhaps a little chewy for me. I did reduce the recipe by half, so perhaps I made a mistake, however, I'd like a bit more crunch. Gotta figure out how...Thanks for sharing a good basic recipe, Singin'Chef.

These are so darn good! I omitted the cinnamon cuz I wasn't sure how that would work with peanut butter. I have already eaten one and they are right out of the oven. I don't even care if the kids don't like them, but what's not to like. I halved the recipe just in case I end up eating all of these cut the kids don't like them. Not overly sweet or peanut buttery. Thanks for sharing this gem! Made for Best of 2012 Tag game!

In some circles, I am known as the "pie lady" because I often make pie...I think it's easier to make than cake! I have an extensive pie recipe collection but am certain that it will NEVER be complete! (My muffin recipe collection is also large!) I am a firm believer in experimentation in the cooking department and often give "How To Cook Without A Book" for any appropriate gift-giving occasion! I also enjoy "playing" in the dirt and find that I need Spring because it gets me away from all the extra cooking I do in Winter! My Mom always said, "If you can READ, you can COOK!" and I have no patience for anyone who refuses to read in the kitchen!
