This homemade alternative to store-bought granola bars, is a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. Tasty and so simple to make! A quarter cup of raisins (not included here) also make a yummy addition!
Start your day with this hearty vitamin-rich granola.
They are crunchy and chewy at the same time, easy and super healthy.
These healthy breakfast bars provide a respectable level of protein and fiber without a ton of calories. Best of all, they can be eaten on the run. Reconfigure the "additions" to suit your fancy.... or replace the Splenda with another sweetener if you're trying to stay "au natural." This is a base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste!
Satisfying, hearty breakfast or snack served with yogurt or milk
This easy granola tastes great as a breakfast cereal, yogurt topping, or an afternoon snack!
The pumpkin and control over the ingredients makes this really nutritious for you--no processed bars from a box!
Deliciously simple and healthy all natural granola bars.
Tasty and nutritious granola bars, preservative free and easy to alter to your taste!
Yummy homemade granola is a breakfast favorite of mine. This recipe makes a huge batch. When cooled, store in jars and then you always have it on hand...that is, until you run out and have to make some more!
These are yummy and super easy to make. My kids loved them and they are heathy!
A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.
Healthy granola, not full of sugar like those in the grocery store.
This is a healthy tasty Granola bar
Yummy chewy granola with the tarness of cherries to match sweetness
Adapted from Mark Bittman's Food Matters. Versatile and so simple to make that there's no excuse for having the expensive, sweet and fattening commercial varieties ever again!
Snack pb& choco nut
Warm, nutty and sweet with just a hint of saltiness. Gorgeous with milk or over homemade yogurt.
Yummy lil' muffins that keep you happy.
This is a great granola that I came up with when I didn't have all the ingredients for my usual recipe. The cranberries can be changed out for raisins and the cashews can be changed out for any other nut you'd like.
this one has full serving of wheat germ and granola
Another tasty healthy smoothie idea.
Adapted from SparkPeople user DIVAMAC's Vanilla Scented Granola
Nut free version of granola made with sunflower seed butter, instead!
Very basic recipe of granola
Done in a flash, and voila, instant granola! A good base recipe.
versatile recipe, add different dried fruit or flavouring to mix it up a bit.
This recipe was taken from the Food Network website. Entered here for calculation of nutrition and use in food plan.
This is pretty much just like Sparkpeople's Low Fat Granola, except I substituted the maple syrup for agave nectar (it isn't weird- you can find it at Wal-Mart by the sugar- not sugar! Perfect!) and I left out the dried fruit, switched up the nuts a bit, and saved nearly 100 calories per serving.
I was wanting a snack that had pumpkin and oatmeal together so I came up with this granola recipe. Please feel free to alter it as needed and make suggestions - this is my first attempt at homemade granola and I'm open to criticism and help!
Yummy, chewy and oh-so-affordable granola bars (at just 20-25 cents apiece!) with a delicious texture... without nuts, additives, artificial ingredients... and not an ounce of high fructose corn syrup in sight!
Homemade granola
These granola bars cover the entire food pyramid. There is absolutely no sugar or sugar substitues, but they are sweet, chewy, healthy and delicious! This recipe makes a double batch, but can easily be cut in half.
good and easy, on the budget and the calories!
Trying to use up some of the bulk bags in my pantry and make granola bar that is a LITTLE less of candy bar than the ones they sell at the stores.
I make these bars as a homemade version of Quaker's peanut butter chocolate chip bars. They are not necessarily low cal or low fat; I make them for my very active kids to have a homemade alternative, so I know the ingredients that are going in are mostly healthy, and no strange chemicals.
modified Chewy Granola bar with additions
Great low carb, low calorie granola bars. Can be altered to suit your taste.
Lots of variety in flavor and texture. Can alter nuts to seeds, and different dried fruits. I've tried it with less sugar and oil, and it's still fantastic!
An adaptation of a Julie Hasson recipe. You can use any dried fruit that you want. :) I just happened to only have dried cranberries. :p
I had a similar recipe that I was using, but I found the calorie/fat content was too high, so I tweaked it a bit and came up with this yummy granola I eat almost every morning. The best part is you can tweak the recipe based on your preferences by adding different kinds of nuts or even dried fruit.
I made these bars on a whim while craving a pumpkin-y granola bar that would keep me full (with lots of fiber and protein). Feel free to play with the spices and cut down on the sugar as you see fit! The soy nuts could easily be exchanged for any nut (something like pecans would probably taste a bit more fall-like). Also feel free to cut them up into smaller servings! I wanted mine to serve as breakfast or a mini-meal so I made them slightly bigger.I had trouble getting the crust to stay together when I added the bar mixture. Any suggestions on how to alter the recipe to fix this are more than welcome! Enjoy!
Not quite a granola bar, but not a cookie either...just plain tasty! And healthy to boot. Gotta try these!
Makes approx 2 cups or 16.5 tablespoons of snack mix.I use 2-3 tablespoons as a topping on plain yogurt daily.
Totally janked from the Reclaiming the Home blog, simple, frugal and delicious.
Great bar for after the gym or for an afternoon snack! Loaded with whole grains and goodness!
a filling healthy snack
Almost like a cookie!
low salt, no fat, low sugar breakfast bars
The granola that was served on the Emmaus walk.
I have allergies to nuts and I could not find a granola that was not produced in a facility that used the same equipment to produce products with nuts and peanuts. I slightly altered SPARKPEOPLE'S Low-Fat Maple Granola to my tastes, using organic products, plus I nixed the salt. Too late I noticed that the coconut had a nut disclaimer, oh well, the search goes on...
I love almonds, I love cranberries, and I love cooking. My first attempt at making granola bars at home!
Soft Granola Bars and ~Less Than 130 Calories Per Bar~You can tweek this in soo many ways - I've just submitted the basics to get you started. Do not over bake these. I've never baked them for more the 32 minutes. This recipes can be halved (9x9 pan) or doubled (10x15 pan) adjust baking times accordingly.
When I started to make the recipe, I didn't have all of the ingredients so I improvised.Can be counted as a fruit!
Her recipe did not have nutritional information. So I copied it into here so I could see the nutritional value.
soy nut granola
Fast and Easy way to get in whole grains with a touch of sweetness
You can add or subtract things like dried fruit, seed, and so on.
A good crunchy granola bar, better after a few hours of sitting. I
Very good with yogurt and blueberries!
I got this recipe out of the November 2006 issue of Gourmet Magazine. A note said it was adapted from Calle Ocho. Note also states: "Making your own cereal couldn't be easier. This recipe is about personal taste -- adjust the fruit amounts to your liking."
Great granola recipe using flaxseed meal in place of a lot of the oil.
This is the best granola recipe I have ever made. You can add dried fruits, raisins, other nuts, peanut butter, etc. but adjust recipe.
This is a super yummy granola where you control the quality of the ingredients. This is great with yogurt for breakfast or as a snack before or after a workout. This is great for folks with a very active lifestyle who need a boost of energy, as it is high in carbs and fat. Give it a try!
Yummy, crunchy, healthy granola
I got this recipe out of a magazine, but am not sure which one. The original recipe called for regular peanut butter, but I used "Better 'n' Peanut Butter" to reduce the peanut butter calories in half.
Wonder snack alone great in yogurt or as a cereal. Heart heathy!
Can substitute pecans or walnuts for the almonds. It makes a large quantity and stores well.
This basic granola can be eaten as cereal or turned into granola bars by following the same instructions as making Rice Krispie Treats.
This is a different recipe for the Vegan Granola Bars I previously posted. It uses half raisins and dates and replaces the almonds with walnuts.
Great for school with no additives
By Melissa Clark; originally published in the New York Times. A delicious twist on traditional granola that can be tweaked to your taste and dietary requirements.
Mix together the oats, honey, oil, wheat germ, vanilla, raisins, cranberries and nuts. Bake on 2 cookie sheets in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Stir and make another 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Stir frequently while baking.
made with Splenda
My fix for my PB&J craving!
With enough protein to rival some other popular protein bars, but the healthiness of a granola bar with whole grain and fiber, these bars are the perfect after school snack!!!
An easy to make breakfast treat. Just mix, bake and store until needed. The fat in this recipe is mostly due to nuts & seeds. They provide wonderful minerals to keep your body functioning well. If you use Bob's Red Mill Gluten free Oats, it will be Gluten Free as well. I eat with berries and yogurt.
Not a sweet granola
Yummy
Easy and great tasting recipe!
You will Need Wax paper as well as non stick cooking spray for these...Remember this is granola not a cookie although it does sort of have a cookie like texture. They're not hard & crunchy. Very nutty flavor with slight sweetness :)
Based on a recipe from Eat, Shrink and Be Merry
This homemade granola is great alone, as cereal or over yogurt!
Granola Bars with just a little sweetness and a lot of protien.They are a little on the dry side, since this is the way I like them, but they pack a lot of energy and are quite filling.
I used Alton's recipe (below) but with Olive oil, pecans, and craisins.
Delicious served with fresh fruit and yogurt!
Frustrated with refined sugars and preservatives in commercial granola bars, I started making these as a healthy portable snack for my toddlers. They're good for adults too!The nutritional calculations are based on a choice of almonds, dried apricots, dried mango and crystallized ginger in a 2:1:1 ratio.
This recipe contains agave nectar. Agave is a sugar-replacement that is sweeter than sugar (so you use less), and extremely low on the glycemic index (It has minimal impact on your blood-sugar level so you have more sustainable energy and you remain full for longer). This recipe (and many other agave based recipes) can be found at www.xagave.com
Delicious and healthy granola and fruit cups that are great with fruit and yogurt for breakfast, as a pre-workout meal or a quick snack for on the go.

Enjoy!
This is a healthy, sweetened granola that is low in fat! Very crunchy!
Nutty sweet granola
Quick & easy snack! Add dried fruits if you want.
I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com, it was pretty calorific, so I tweaked it to make it more figure friendly. Add whatever nuts, dried fruit etc you want to spice it up a little.
Healthy and delicious snack or topping for yogurt. You can add nuts or other ingredients to taste.
This is a recipe for a great granola that is cooked in the microwave in 12 min. It is really good to put about a 1/4 cup in a 1/4 cup of plain yogurt. YUMMY
These are quite simple and delicious
Granola made without adding butter or oils. Lowering the total fat to 3g.
Yummy homemade granola!
I found this in "A Few of Our Favorite Things"& "Fitness' Magazine
A granola recipe for a tight budget my mother gave me. I recommend adding a fruit of choice and mixing with yogurt.
This granola is delicious and healthful, packed with nutrients and fiber, but low in fat. It makes a great breakfast when eaten with milk, or stirred into vanilla yougurt. It's also great on ice cream or sprinkled on peanut butter spread on apple slices.
SWITCH UP THE FRUITS & NUTS TO YOUR LIKING. DON'T SKIMP ON THE LIQUID INGREDIENTS, PACK FIRMLY IN THE PAN, SO THE BARS STICK TOGETHER. ALTER INGREDIENTS AS NECESSARY, SALT FREE NUTS ARE OPTIMUM TO REDUCE SODIUM COUNT, BUT OUR GROCERY STORES DON'T CARRY THESE ITEMS. READ YOUR NUT LABELS, THERE ARE HIDDEN INGREDIENTS SOMETIMES.
This granola is packed with goodness. My family loves it on top of their cereal or just plain with milk or on top of ice cream.
This snack fills you up and last for hours. Its also high in fiber.
I keep this in a lg ziploc in the refrigerator and use it to top almost anything! Yogurt, banana pancakes, streusel for muffins, or just by the handful!
YUMMY NATURAL GRANOLA! ADD ANY FRUIT OR NUTS TO MAKE A DIFFERENT VARIETY, YOU CANNOT GO WRONG.
My take on chewy granola squares. Great to throw in a bag for a long hike or bike ride!
Subbed in sunflower seeds for the quinoa and forgot to put in the flaxseed, so the texture isn't as "together" and the fiber and protein are way down.
A not-too-rich cobbler concoction that can serve as a dessert or breakfast!
By accident I compared honey with molasses and found molasses has all kinds of health pluses. These are really chewy and so tasty, high in b-6, selenium, just to mention a few. I get so much energy when I eat one of these.
Great granola recipe from the YouTube cooking show Everyday Dish. The show's website is everydaydish.tv, and this recipe's video is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OAcccp3a5XY. It's my new favorite show : )
