These are great! The basic recipe lends itself to all sorts of variations. I have tried the other posters' suggestions and also have stirred in 1/2 c applesauce, (I did have to then add a couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken the mixture back up) a dash of cinnamon and a large handful of raisins. Next I will try some mashed banana and maybe some walnuts. Thank you for an easy alternative to store bought cereal bars.

Delicious! I made this recipe with the following substitutions ¼ cup applesauce and ¼ cup softened (not melted) butter for the butter and ¼ c eggbeaters for the egg. I also added in allspice, walnuts, milled flax seed, and wheat germ. (I always try to add fiber and nutrients when possible.) After cooling, I did not have the crumbling issue that others noted. I think the “softened� butter and applesauce helped bind the dry ingredients better. I WILL make these again, however, next time I will also decrease the brown sugar which I forgot to do (since applesauce is a natural sweetener.)

I have lived in the country but presently am living in town. I am happy either way. For work, I took care of my children at the beginning of their lives and my parents at the back end of theirs. Now stay active with the grand-children. My pet peeve, trust me, we do not want to go there!
