This is a wonderful granola bar people! My daughter loves them & she normally detests granola bars..as does my husband. He said I needed to add corn syrup to make it more chewy…I just gave him “the look” & that was the end of that. Try them out!

I made these for the first time yesterday. They are delicious and SO EASY. The best part, in my opinion, is the variety of bars you can make. The coconut, chocolate chips, and cherries can easily be swapped out for other ingredients- my guilty pleasure used to be Quaker Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip granola bars- knowing how easy (and how much healthier!) it is to make my own makes me so happy- I’m never going back to processed, packaged granola bars.

I have made several different kinds of homemade “granola bars” with various ingredients and these are probably the simplest. My husband has tasted all of them and his response was “these are the best granola bars you have ever made.” I thought the sweetened condensed milk might make them too sweet, but surprisingly they weren’t and the texture is so right on.

I made these granola bars yesterday and although they are very good, I don’t like the texture that results. I would prefer a drier granola bar and mine were very chewy/wet. They didn’t hold together very well and although they were way to sweet for me, my husband and some co-workers thought they were fine. I do like the simplicity of the bar, but I think that I would decrease amount of sweetened condensed milk and try simply condensed milk and add my own honey to give it the sweetness I’d prefer. Other than those two things, they are a great quick simple bar.

While they tasted delicious I was disappointed in the structural integrity. They fell apart really easily coming out of the pan. Half of them crumbled apart despite leaving them to cool longer when I saw how easily the first ones crumbled. However, the ones that survived are delicious and I saved the crumbles to put in yogurt. I’ll be making them again but plan to get 16 servings instead of 24.

These are great and easy to make! Not too sweet. Just right for a breakfast bar. Thanks for sharing!

These are so simple and very tasty! I love the recipe as is, but might experiment with other flavors next time. And, my husband is a huge fan too!

I’ve been looking for a good soft granola bar…might just have to give this one a try!

While I’m sure this bar is delicious, this recipe has MORE fat and almost as many carbs a the Vanilla Yogourt Quaker Granola Bars (coming in at 4.5g fat (no trans fats) and 25g carbs)!
Still, i like the idea of less preservatives, and healthier fats, but Flaked Coconut is FULL of sulphites and you have to be careful about dried fruit too!

Mmm, this looks like what I’ve been looking for. I’ve never been too keen on the Quaker stuff because of the trans fats and sugar.

I looked up the nutritional information for
QUAKER CHEWY GRANOLA BARS
there are 100 calories, 3 grams of fat NO TRANS FATS, and 17g of carbohydrates.
this information is readily available on their website

Wow. Thanks Laura! I recommend a natural flaked coconut… but the addition is always optional! I am very familiar with their nutrition information. The serving size of a chewy Quaker bar is quite a bit less than this bar and I feel that benefits of the natural ingredients far outweigh the negatives of 58 extra calories! But, to each his own!!!

I’m looking for a job as the TRANS FAT information POLICE!! lol

We love granola bars and always buy the best ones (organic), but they are so costly and you really don’t get very many for the price. I’m glad to have found your recipe so we can start making some and adding some new ingredients that some of the store bought granola bars don’t have.

I made this and took some to my trainer at the gym TWICE. I’m now sending him the recipe. Thanks, this one is a keeper.

These look/sound absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make them! Thanks!

I wonder what I can use in place of the coconut that will increase the calorie count? I absolutely detest coconut.
