I melt 1/2 cup belgian chocolate & put it in the bottom of the pan before pressing the mix down. To the mix, I also add 1/4 cup ground flax seed and 1/4 cup sunflower seed. It is soooo good! My husband says they're perfect. Thanks for this recipe!
I’ve never liked homemade granola bars because of the raw oatmeal. But I never have seen a recipe where they toasted the nuts and oats before the binders! Brilliant! Thank you so much! Especially seeing the gmo alerts on the box of Quaker granola bars, and others as well!
They are really good! My husband was eating those garbagey chemical bars like NutriGrain and Fiber Plus. Now he says he is actually full after eating one and says they are absolutely delicious!
I'm looking for recipes for healthy things to pack for our kids for school lunches this year and I'm going to give this recipe a try! Thank you so much!
I just made my grocery list, and always wanted to make granola bars . my favorite cereal is honey nut cheerios, and I'm trying a new one honey bunches of oats. I have everything but the chocolate chips. I do monthly activities with my niece's nine year old son, and I am a retired day care worker. he's picky at certain things. but loves doing easy kids cooking with me.😊 .Thanks 🍊🍉🍈🍇🥐🥨🍕🍞
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH SERIOUSLY THIS RECIPE IS SO SIMPLE, FLEXIBLE AND AFFORDABLE NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO BRING TO MY CAMPING TRIP!!!!!THANKS SOOOO MUCH!!! THIS HELPED ME ALOT!!!!
I was looking for the best recipe for homemade chewy granola bars and now this one has definitely become my favorite by far! 😊 My family also agrees. They all said, “Wow, those are REALLY good granola bars.” No need for store bought granola bars anymore, plus they don’t take long to make. A great prepared snack to have in the fridge. I love that your recipe toasts the oats first. I use 2 cups oats, 1 cup crispy rice cereal. I’m a salty-sweet person so I add broken pretzels. I don’t love cranberries or raisins in my granola bars so I leave them out.
I’ve used this recipe countless times now for our local girls wrestling team to have something on the day of our meets and they absolutely love them. Thanks for the video! Go Hudson Cobras!
I just made these again. I’ve made them so many times I can’t keep track. They are a huge hit at the office. I just wanted to thank you for sharing such a simple and delicious recipe. ❤
Made these today and it was my first time making granola bars at home. This is the BEST granola bars I've ever eaten. Never buying granola bars again. Thanks ❤
Love this recipe comes out delicious. First time I made it tho. It held together but was breaking into smaller pieces. Second time idk what happened I did the same thing but nothing stuck. It was just like granola. But either ways it tasted really good
Gonna try this weekend...how ever I must caution you to use organic honey from a local supplier ...as store bought honey is nasty stuff.mostly corn fructose .cheers.
Thank you so much this recipe it’s very good so I love it I love your truly so much this cookie it’s so healthy I eat it every single day feel when I like to eat at night morning afternoons anytime so delicious
Looks delicious but wondering if it will be too sweet for my/my wife's taste or if it is distributed enough to not really be that much per bar. Can we simply add less sugar or will this affect the texture/ability of the bars to stay together? Also is that salted or unsalted butter? Thanks for the great video!
Thinking of making this w/ almonds and dried cherries (good foods for sleeping) as a bedtime replacement for melatonin supplements... I wonder if it'll be more cost effective 🤔
Hmm, I'm guessing that this is to keep all of the nutrients intact since heat might affect them. We aren't too concerned with that, but you can try to substitute the honey with brown rice syrup if you are worried.
Hi there, We have not tried anything else, but vegan-friendly cane or coconut sugar and brown rice syrup would be my first try. When reading through substitutions from commenters on the blog, some people have had success using maple syrup instead of the honey. Hope that helps!

Wait you never thought to yourself "hmm maybe I should try making these but roasting my raw oats first?"
Quick oats are steamed and cooked as part of their processing and so are not raw.
There's nothing wrong with GMO, don't fall for everything.
@@Broken_robot1986People who fear GMO probably also fear dihydrogen monoxide in their food.
I used coconut oil instead of butter and it's a amazing recipe! i made it without the almonds and put in some PB dates and cranberries

Glad you like them!
Very good recipe! 🎉
QUESTION, I don't have Almonds, all I have is salted peanuts, can I use this. 😊

Wonderful! So happy to hear!
I just made your bars and they are the most delicious bars that I ever tried, you have a new subscriber
Ma'am how do to wrap n store them? Should one use parchment paper or just cling wrap n then put in a box...thk you
Its completely up to you. You can cut them into bars with parchment paper or put them in snack bags for those days on the go.
@@inspiredtaste thk you
Thank you for sharing. I am definitely going to make these. So great,and none of the things you can’t pronounce that are in store bought.

Hi, if I cut dwn on the sugar/honey, will they still stick together, thank you
Hi, I cut down the sugar to 50%. It still bines well. Honey I remain the same.
These look great 👍
Going to send my son off to college with these .. how would you store these, and how long will they keep?
Thanks 😀
I made these and they were soooo delicious, I ended up with 22 bars, gone in 2 days cause my family LOVED THEM😍😍😍😍
Glad you like them!
Gonna try this weekend...how ever I must caution you to use organic honey from a local supplier ...as store bought honey is nasty stuff.mostly corn fructose .cheers.
Wow wonderful amazing Delicious recipe ❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome. I'm going to try with lil gurl🎉

The best recipe I’ve tried !!
Thank you so much this recipe it’s very good so I love it I love your truly so much this cookie it’s so healthy I eat it every single day feel when I like to eat at night morning afternoons anytime so delicious
Loved the video, and that look at 01:27
cant wait to try it.
Looks Delicious.
Can these be left at room temperature for storage or do you recommend keeping them refrigerated? Thanks!
a beautiful receipe and a very beautiful chef❤
Thanks! 😃
Wonderful 💐❤️
Can I replace the butter with coconut oil? Is the sugar necessary?
Love it! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Trying this asap. Looks good and healthy
Can these be kept outside the fridge and for how long? Thanks
Keep in Fridge?? Can you use them like regular granola bars and take on hikes etc without them falling apart? Thx!
Can you freeze these once they're done? Thinking double batch and freeze one batch 👌🏻
Did you ever try freezing them? I’m also curious!
Forget dry granola bars, these look delicious
We agree!
Thank you!!
Can you use normal oats,is honey and oil necessary
Great snack
So good
Nice!
How to store it ? Can be in room temperature??
Great recipe! Thank you. Maybe it would be healthier to add honey after the binding mixture is cooled down to under 40°C.
You can try it. I do think that the light simmer of the sugar and honey helps keep them sticky in the end, but it is definitely worth a try!
Looks yummy❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
Would these be good to send in the mail as a gift. Would they hold up ?
Can I have these when I'm on my diet?
I made this, I added Dates, pumpkin seeds, pistachio,and I only put chocolate chips on top. It is delicious, thanks. 😊
Sounds great! Your welcome
Looks delicious but wondering if it will be too sweet for my/my wife's taste or if it is distributed enough to not really be that much per bar. Can we simply add less sugar or will this affect the texture/ability of the bars to stay together? Also is that salted or unsalted butter?
Thanks for the great video!
How much time it stored?
Nice 🎉
Lovely
Perfect she is the best 🎃❤
Can I make this a day ahead of time?
Awesome
Hi how to store granola bar??
Thinking of making this w/ almonds and dried cherries (good foods for sleeping) as a bedtime replacement for melatonin supplements... I wonder if it'll be more cost effective 🤔
Could you do this with quick oats ?
She said you can use quick oats as well in the video
Can anyone recommend substitutions that won't make the bars fall apart? Butter and Sugar?
Should i let the melted ingredients cook before adding chocolate bits?
We allow the other ingredients to cool, and then add the chocolate.
Is the brown sugar a must in this recipe? Or the amount?
You might be able to reduce it slightly, but the sugar helps to keep the bars together.
@@inspiredtaste thankyou!
omitting the sugar thanks :)
Hi, can I use syrup instead of honey?
Of course!
mine came out hard and stiff I used maple syrup instead maybe that's why. I wonder how I can fix this and make it soft again
What if we don't have vanilla extract and brown sugar? Is there going to be a difference?
We haven't tested it. It wouldn't be as sweet. Let us know how it turns out if you try it.
Is it good to cook honey though? I thought cooking honey is highly discouraged.
You can its a natural sweetener
Did you cut in half, then each half into 6 rectangles?
yep
butter?
how many do you eat a day....? I miiiiiight eat a bunch...
Haha! We completely understand the feeling.
I have heard one must never heat honey. Not sure if its true. Thanks for the recipe!
Hmm, I'm guessing that this is to keep all of the nutrients intact since heat might affect them. We aren't too concerned with that, but you can try to substitute the honey with brown rice syrup if you are worried.
@@inspiredtaste thank u so much :)
@@kirtiagrawal9453 it is actually true never heat honey u can die it looses its properties when its heated
How many calories in one bar?
i just love u
Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you for writing eu measures
You're welcome 😊 All recipe will be on our website.
Looks so good, thanks for sharing, but lessen the sugar
I will make more than the store can produce and make them go out of business
You can just tell that this tannie knows how to maak kos.
Brown Sugar and Honey are not vegan. Do you happen to have a alternative that you have tried. Tha ks kindly
Hi there, We have not tried anything else, but vegan-friendly cane or coconut sugar and brown rice syrup would be my first try. When reading through substitutions from commenters on the blog, some people have had success using maple syrup instead of the honey. Hope that helps!
how is brown sugar not vegan
@@uhm.okay. some people are just stupid
❤❤💯
looks good, but maybe too much sugar, aunty
Not healthy bars as they contain honey and brown sugar, I replacd those, but they are tasty and quick to make. Thanks.
lane mam this is one of your students from year 5h
👍🏻
❤
Thank you very much for this recipe! May God's Blessings be with you and your family in Jesus' Holy Name, AMEN!!!
You're welcome
I’m making these but adding a half ounce of decarbed cannabis that is ground to a fine powder .
That sounds great 💙 💛 💙
