I was looking for the least sweet, lowest sugar breakfast bar possible to give my 7yo for a quick meal before he gets on the school bus. He's a dawdler, so I was looking for the maximum nutrition in the smallest package. These bars fit the bill pretty well. Most granola is candy-sweet. This is much better. The only thing I'd change is to use more cinnamon and to try to figure out a way to get some dry milk powder into it.
