Recipes for Healthier Eating. I just made these (8/28) and used Kashi GoLean Crunch as the 'granola cereal' and they did not work at all. Also, I tried a 9x13 baking dish, but had to do a 7x11 in order to get them to fit. I baked for 23 minutes, but probably needed closer to 30. The top looks great, but the bottom is barely cooked. I recommend either a) use real granola cereal, or b) don't make these :) Good luck!
