I like these frosted with vanilla frosting or dusted with powdered sugar. Kids love these as a snack. I like these with carrots and walnuts added - but the kids prefer them plain.

This is an adaptable recipe for granola bars - Go ahead, experiment with it. The molasses gives them a nice rich flavour. They are quite filling, and as a midmorning snack they provide a good energy boost.
