This looks so easy! And I have everything I need in the pantry too! Thanks for the recipe! I will let you know if I make it!
ReplyDeleteDid this turn out well?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of trying it with my kids this summer.
I've tried several granola bar recipes and haven't been happy with them. I'll try yours next week, it looks simple and yummy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so making these today! I've been wanting to make some granola bars for a while now. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDo you put nuts in it? I still tend to stay away from them in stuff my little ones eat because I'm worried about them not chewing them up good or choking on them. Just curious if you use them and how your kids do with them.
Sarah: I've never put nuts in them but they would be super tasty with them. My kids (18 mos. and 3 yrs.) do pretty well with nuts, though (they like them as a snack) so I don't think it would be a problem with them. Maybe some semi-crushed cashew or something? Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this recipe tonight! Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight and they ROCKED! I added almonds, craisins, and dried apricots. Thank you!
