[...] sugar. Again, Shannon declined but I thought it tasted fine. Plus it gives me the excuse to make granola bars again. I take back what I earlier blogged about brown rice [...]

No one here likes dates, other than me, and there’s no way I could eat all the granola bars.

They do like dried blueberries, so i might try those.

Go for it Caitlin! I hadn’t thought of dates. Good call.

I made my second batch with walnuts, flax, toasted coconut and candied pineapple. I also used coconut extract for half the vanilla, but that part was overkill — NOT recommended.

These were super delicious… I’ve eaten tons of them. Way better than anything similar I’ve bought at a store.

I’m glad you like them, Miss Ashleigh. And they’re good for you too!

And thanks to you, Charmain, for real. My plan is to cut the almonds in half next time, bump up the fruit, maybe raisins or dates. Or raisins AND dates. Ooh. I might toast the coconut too, but not the flax.

Glad they turned out, Caitlin. I’m even more glad you added flax and coconut. I, too, have half a bottle of brown rice syrup left over and will be making a second batch — with coconut and flax for sure!

Just so long as you used local sticks, not ones bought at IKEA or in Chinatown.
