Homemade granola bars. Serving size depends on how small you cut them.
Taste as good as a cookie and full of good stuff! We love these!!! Just don't overcook these or they will be hard!
Adapted slightly from a recipe posted by David Lebovitz, this is a standard in our house. Easy to make, long-keeping and fantastic as a few T over some yogurt, this granola is fantastic and makes a great, healthy homemade gift. Check your local natural food store for great deals on the seeds, oats, and honey!
An easy, tasty, homemade granola recipe. Feel free to experiment!
The Mix January/ February 2010
I got this recipe from my good friend Fhamwey...very good!
A tribute to a beautiful soul, and believer in Christ, gone too soon. To honor her memory, we make this on Saturday to enjoy all week, just as she always did.
This granola only contains applesauce, no butter or oil- it is packed with nutrients. Servicing size is for 1/2 a cup- I usually put it on yogurt in the morning. You can also use a little less and mix it in with you cereal in the morning for an extra punch of nutrients.
Although these contain approximately 200 calories each, they are an all natural granola bar, rich in omega-3 fatty acid with 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. To save on some calories, you can make this without the ground flaxseed meal and almonds to make each bar approximately 150-160 calories each. If you don't have the dried fruit and nut mixutre, you can just use any kind of dried fruit - raisins, craisins, prunes (chopped), mangoes (chopped), papaya... you get the idea
This is great on cottage cheese or yogurt, with milk, or by itself. You can vary the recipe by tring dried cranberries, walntus, raisins, etc. You can also add a sweetner such as stevia or succanat if you prefer.
To reduce the fat, put in less nuts and more oats.There seemed to be more than enough sweetener. Next time I plan to extend the recipe with more oats.I also split the mixture between two cookie sheets to bake in the oven.Overall it's the easiest granola I have ever made.
Yummy granola!
Good for a quick breakfast on the go!
I made this granola after looking at many other recipes. I like it. It tastes good with milk or lowfat/nonfat plain yogurt.
I could never find this recipe just how I wanted it, so I made it my own.

My daughter and I make this together. It just screams HEALTHY and FILLING! I add a 1 tsp of brown sugar with milk.. Wonderful!
Easy home made granola for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Great with yogurt.
I adapted this recipe from another that my lovely co-worker, Brenda Johnson gave to me. It is wonderful and they disappear QUICK!
This recipe is from the Food Network, chef Barefoot Contessa. These are delicious.
basic granola mix
Serving size is 1/4 Cup
This is our favorite granola. Even my husband, who does not traditionally like "healthy food", loves it!
this one-bowl recipe is easy, and perfect for breakfast or a snack!
I've made this bread-machine recipe since 1995 - the family loves it! I'm always amazed at how light it is. Great warm, cold or toasted.
Better than the store bought and healthy, too. Add fresh fruit before serving.
Jacquie's Christmas Granola
Great cereal or easy snack
This homemade granola is delicious and cheap for 18 servings! Most granola is $3.50/box for less servings.
This is a Food Network Recipe from Ellie Krieger. I omitted the salt and do not spray the pan and it works out just fine.
I just discovered Xylitol as a sweetner that has 0 cal and doesn't spike insulin and it is natural (not a chemical like Aspertame, sucralose, etc.). This is packed with heart-healthy fats from nuts and peanut oil. This is a great Granola Recipe to add to Greek Yogart for a hearty breakfast or snack
This recipe has no added fat. Dried fruit may be added as served.
Healthy Granola Bars- add your own ingredients for a special twist :)
When I started to make the recipe, I didn't have all of the ingredients so I improvised.Can be counted as a fruit!
Concentrated applejuice can be bought frozen or bottled from health food stores.
Made these for the holidays and they were delicious. Make some substitutions to make them healthier and adjust calories accordingly.
This is a recipe for a loose granola. Good for snacks or to eat with milk as cereal!
Similar to Nature's Path Granola, but I think my changes make it taste even better. Fat, sugar, and Protein grams are close but mine beats the box cereal in vitamins, nutrients, and taste!
This is a recipe I found off one of my favourite blogs, and has become a household favourite.
a great way to wake up the family
adapted from Drop a Dress Size in 21 Days (took out the added nuts and raisens, I didn't realize the granola would have them in it already.
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.
Yummy breakfast treat, great with yogurt!
This is a little bit different than SP's Molasses Granola...hers is wonderful but I changed a few things to my liking. It is awesome.I have also been known to add 1cup of Fiber One cereal, it gives it an awesome crunch!
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
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!
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!
soy nut granola
Wonder snack alone great in yogurt or as a cereal. Heart heathy!
Yummy homemade granola!
Delicious granola that can be combined with anything you wish, or just enjoyed alone.
This is my first attempt and has many substitutions, there was much I didn't have in the house.
I made this to cut some granola that was WAY too sweet. Even with almost no sugar added, my son liked it just the way it was. Grains and seeds taste good without having to be all covered up!
See original recipe at www.epicurious.com
great for on the go breakfast or a good snack for at the park
This is a great homemade granola. Many like to eat it plain, but our favorite is to mix a half cup of granola with a half cup of lowfat plain vanilla yogurt.
No bake, high in fiber, healthy and easy!
The granola and almonds are from Aldi's. Substitute the word Happy with Joy and you will get the meaning. This mix tastes like a crunchy Almond Joy because of the coconut in the cereal. A good afternoon snack.
this comes from my mother
This is delicious served over yogurt and fresh fruit or just plain with a little milk.
I like this granola sprinkled over plain cereal or oatmeal. The taste is fabulous!
I love this stuff! Sprinkle it on yogurt or cereal for a healthy treat.
nice to add to yogurt eat alone as cold cereal or warm it
high fiber energy bar
entice family members and friends with the aromas of ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice!
I discovered this recipe about 5 years ago in a magazine. This has become a family staple. My favorite power snack is 1/2 cup of this granola with 1 cup of non-fat vanilla yogurt.I store this in an air-tight container, but it is gone within the week. I've tweaked a couple of things, in that I prefer dried cranberries instead of dried cherries.
Has a lot of flavor in a LITTLE YUMMY package!This is so great for kids.
Super yummy and nutritious
Baked Granola
This is my first attempt at granola bars, recipe adapted from one I found on recipezaar.A little crumbly but quite tasty, will keep working on it.
Homemade
I couldn't believe how easy these bars were to make and a surprise bonus that my kids loved them more than store bought ones!
Lighter granola
I have adapted this recipe to be a bit more nutrition and less in calories than traditional granola recipes.
great as a cereal or sprinkled on top of yogurt
Great Homemade Granola
