Store-bought granola bars are full of things that are bad for you and marketed as healthy. I had to make them homemade, for peace of mind. I LOVED this, and best of all, so did the kids! I used all organic products. Used plain puffed cereal (wheat, millet, rice, kamut) instead of granola as it was what I had on-hand. I omitted the nuts so they could go to school, and replaced the raisins with chocolate chips. What a HIT! Soooo happy to have found a recipe that doesnt use a ton of oil and corn syrup (yek!)! Thanks Emily! :o)

lol, I make these for my boyfriend too! He wanted something that was more natural and not full of preservatives. I've made these bars twice now and I'll have to make them more often I think because he always brings them for his buddies. Oh, I also added an extra egg white the second time, it seemed to hold the bars together just a little better.

These are fantastic. I have a very picky boyfriend who is always in a rush first thing in the morning, and this is the only thing I've ever seen him go out of his way to grab on his way out the door. They're chewy and thick and very satisfying. I add a scoop of baking whey to up the protein content.
