Almond-Honey Power Bar

tasty

I only used honey and no sugar and it came out great

I couldn't get the unsweetened cereal, so I used Kashi's Go Lean Original Cereal which has a shameful 8 g of sugars per serving. I cut out the sugar completely, cut the honey in half, doubled the almond butter, and added about a tablespoon of coconut oil. The mixture was pretty dry, so I sprinkled on some water until I got a sticky mix. I didn't have sunflower seeds, so I substituted pumpkin seeds.

I think these are amazing. I did not add sugar and found they were plenty sweet without it. I also used agave syrup instead of honey as I didnt have honey on hand.I also opted to use dried cranberries instead of apricots. Just a personal preference.these held up well and packed great for lunch. I put them in a baggy instead of parchment paper because I eat on the go and was easier to handle. These are a must have for a healthy snack.

These were pretty good... I added about 1 TBLS water to the nut butter mix. I was worried that it would be watery and the bar would fall apart- but I think it helped it act more like glue (it seemed like this was a problem in other reviews) I would skip the additional sugar- these are quite sweet with all of the dried fruit and honey. I kept them in the fridge for the week individually wrapped in parchment paper (which is what I lined the pan with before refrigerating them) and they were great for a quick breakfast!

I made these with half honey and half agave and used about a cup of almond butter and peanut butter mixed. They stayed together very well with no crumbling. I didn't use any of the fruit in the recipe. I used acai berries, sprouted almonds, sunflower seeds and pecans. Also for my dried mixed base I used gf rolled oats and coconut flakes roasted. Delicious, they were so good and I will make them again!

Delicious! I used peanut butter, 1 C dried cranberries, pecans, and skipped the sugar. These are so good! Mine didn't stay in bar form, but crumbly granola is fine. I will definitely make these again. Pros: easy to make

We love these! I have been looking for a breakfast bar recipe where there was no added refined sugar & when I read the changes others made to omit the sugar I thought I would try it. I did not use raisins but used dried cranberries & dried unsweetened/ unsulfured mangoes from Trader Joes. I also drizzled a little dark chocolate on top to mimic the breakfast bars I was used to eating. Delicious!!! Will make again & again! Overall healthy & w/no added preservatives & less costly which was what I was trying to accomplish. Pros: Healthy, delicious & filling

SO easy and delicious!! I made these for my dad because he has to keep his cholesterol down and I figured this would be a good thing for him to grab instead of something unhealthy. He LOVED them! It's so easy to add different ingredients too! Instead of puff cereal I used honey nut cheerios. They came out great Pros: quick, healthy, easy

Cheaper and Better For You Granola Bars I've made these granola bars several times now and they are now a staple on the kitchen counter. The ingredients can easily be varied - from nut butters, to dried fruit. Try Peanut butter with raisins, currants, and chopped peanuts; or cashew butter with dried cherries, apriocots, and chopped cashews. Make sure to line the pan with foil, coat with non-stick spray, and use an oil coated piece of foil to help press the mixture into the pan to make really firm bars. Pros: simple, uses whole ingredients, easy to make organic, ingredients can be varied Cons: very sweet, but when you need a sweet fix...

Almond-Honey Power Bar I do enjoy this type of bar but could not indulge because of the high sugar content. Pros: The recipe sounds delicious and I know I would enjoy it, Cons: however, the sugar count is double digit which is too high. Also, a bariatric doctor I went to said that flaxseeds are no good to you nutritionally unless they are ground.

easy to makeI threw these together last night using what I had in the house. I used peanut butter, cheerios, craisins, dried cherries, raisins & light brown sugar, but everything else was the same. They turned out wonderful! I cut them into smaller pieces so they are around 100 calories per serving. I am going to make them again with the right ingredients later this week. I bought everything today. I bought the nuts and dried fruit in the bulk section and only bought what I needed, to save money. The turbinado sugar was not too hard to find or expensive, however the almond butter was $8-$10 a jar. I passed on that. I will stick to my Smart Balance peanut butter. The large jar was on sale today for $5.Pros: easy to substitute ingredientsCons: almond butter is very expensive

Most MarvelousREALLY like these and find that the ingredients are not that hard to get on hand.

Not worth it Not worth the trouble of getting all the ingredients and the expense. They did not hold together well and they were quite bland. Pros: Healthy ingredients Cons: No taste, did not hold together. Too expensive and too many ingredients to make again

Delicious and nutritious even though there are a lot of ingredients and ones that many people won't have in their home, these bars are worth the time and energy. they are tasty, filling and even my pickiest eater gobbled them up. Pros: tastes great, filling snack Cons: time consuming, lots of ingredients that aren't common

Maybe granola bars just aren't my family's thing. We found this recipe too rich, even though I omitted the raw sugar and added only the honey. But, of all the granola bars we have ever tried, this was my favorite. Very toasty nutty taste. I may try the recipe listed in this comments blog. Maybe it won't taste so sweet and rich.

great recipe! just a general comment : when baking and i want to cut down on the calories from sugar substitute using Xyitol. this is a natural sweetener from the bark of a tree. there are no chemical as in splenda and equal etc. and better than stevia. i've always had good results...you judge...give it a try.

Fantastic! I also think they are a little too sweet so will probably reduce the sugar next time. I cut them into 10 pieces instead of 8 and wrap them separately in parchment paper and then in a plastic bag.

I made these last night and they were a complete hit! Kid tested mother approved, we all loved them. I too made some substitutions for berries that I already had like blueberries and cranberries as well as I used Kashi go lean original and picked out the fiber twigs. I love that this recipe calls for healthy ingredients like unrefined sugar and almond butter, I used sea salt too. Either way they came out perfect. Thanks!
