Trail Mix Granola Bars

Do you think these would work ok without the oats! They look so good, I’m droooooling!
Yes 100%, they are optional.
Since I am allergic to nuts. What would be a good substitute for nuts?
do you have to use chocolate… and pineapple what else would work please
Customize as you would like. Sub in any dried fruit!
Do these store well in the fridge, freezer, or pantry? I would like to make them but in not sure I will finish them all in a week.
I store in the fridge!
How long will they keep for in the fridge?
7-10 days at least!
I made these this morning and I am blown away!! I feel like I just ate a candy bar!! It made 10 bars for me.
Any idea how many calories per bar if cut into 6? Also mine were very crumbly. I did toast the nuts. Any idea what i could do differently? More honey?
I made this today and they were in fridge 4 hours before I cut them. They are very delicious (I used dates) but very crumbly.
If you follow the recipe without subs it won’t be crumbly!
Do you think I could use Nutella instead of a nut butter, guess its worth a try. To the person wanting the calorie count, I think you could google all of the ingredients for calories, adding them all up and dividing by the number of bars you divide the pan into. This will only give you ballpark numbers because there is great variation allowed with the measurements, if you had grams to work with you could zero in on a more precise calorie count because u could use a scale to weigh out each ingredient. These look so wonderful, can’t wait to try them. I love the presentation with the wrappers, too!
Just put mine in the freezer to set up. The dry ingredients alone were so yummy. I’m vegan so I used maple syrup. Can’t wait to try them once they set up. I’m literally so excited for these. Toasting the nuts and seeds definitely gives it a nice flavor. Highly recommend toasting them. I will double the batch next time so I can send some off to my son who lives out of state.
Third time making these. They are so yummy.
I’m allergic to nuts can you sub something else ?
More seeds!
What is the nutritional count per bar?
These granola bars look absolutely amazing!
What about for pre diabetic is it good?
Hi..I just made them.and they fell apart and I used the exact ingredients.
Wondering why? The taste is delicious.
I definitely will make it, I just would like to know if you have the nutritional info, thanks.
What is the calorie count. How much protein. How many carbs. Can they replace protein bars
I need a low carb version. Please
The oats dont need to be cooked?
Nope!
Just made these. And they’re FAB. Any idea on calorie count?
Hi !! I Just nade you granola bars , they. are really the best bars iI nade but I need your help , how I can I do kept tihem stored without refrigerated
I see a lot of questions on calorie count etc. C ould we please get an answer.
We’re currently working on adding them to all of the recipes! In the meantime if there is a specific recipe feel free to enter the info it into any free online nutrition calculator!
Sugars and Carbs in these Trail Mix Granola Bars, please! I’m a Type 2 diabetic.
Just fyi, calorie count is roughly 350 per bar if you made 6.
If I was looking for the macro count does anyone have it?
Thanks
These taste so good ! I have a peanut allergy, so I used almond butter instead of peanut Butter. I replaced the honey with rice malt syrup and coco nibs instead of chocolate. Delicious!
I made the bars and used almond butter. They cut beautifully and I wrapped in wax paper. They are delicious.
I stumbled across this on Facebook, and it looked so good. My wife made them last night and they ARE so good!
The only downside is that they are so tasty I have to be careful not to eat the whole batch right away! That would defeat the purpose of such a healthy snack.
As we say in our house, “This is a do again!”
I love it!!
These look fantastic!! I can imagine so many flavor combinations. Thanks for sharing
