    Sounds like a very good recipe to me. But I have questions about the brown rice syrup. I've never heard of it before. More info and suggestions about using it please. Thanks. - 2/26/09

    Brown rice syrup is the texture of honey or corn syrup, but doesn't taste quite as sweet and it has a lower glycemic index. You can find it in natural foods stores or sections of large groceries.

    Great! The ingredients were easy to find in our medium sized store ... stevia was in the aisle by the sugar, near the Splenda, etc ... the protein powder was by the Slim Fast, and the rice syrup was in the gluten free section. - 11/24/08

    I found awesome ready-made at Aldi's by liveGfree, Double Chocolate Crunch Granola, also made with brown rice flakes. Can add the almonds for more protein, but the ready-made is sooo much easier! Great with Greek Yogurt for protein to the max! - 6/12/15

    Oveall I really like this recipe. What is one serving size? What is the scoop size of the protein powder? I used splenda instead- know it doesn't exchange 1:1. The outcome seemed quite dry even after the choc chips-- I like chunks. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharing!! - 9/29/10

    I am very excited to make this! I make granola all the time but I have wanting to try something new. And I use Stevia and brown rice syrup (and agave) to sweeten all my treats so I already have it on hand. I think I might make some tonight. :) THANKS! - 8/31/09
