Comments on: No bake, chewy Granola Bars (just like Quaker!) http://backtothecuttingboard.com/dessert/no-bake-chewy-granola-bars/ Recipes and food photography Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:20:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Emily http://backtothecuttingboard.com/dessert/no-bake-chewy-granola-bars/#comment-39834 Emily Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:55:33 +0000 http://backtothecuttingboard.com/?p=980#comment-39834 Hi DeAnn, I increase the oats a little bit to 3 cups, but otherwise I just omit the all the nuts and seeds. You can also omit the brown sugar in the granola to save some calories. The brown sugar and honey added to bars are more than enough to make them sweet. Glad you liked them! Hi DeAnn,

I've updated the post and added the nutrition info for each of the bars at the bottom so check that out for the exact values and for my note on what kind of granola to use. Store bought can have tons of extra fat and calories, so I recommend making it at home instead. Hi Debra,

If you use a plain, low-sugar homemade granola these only have slightly more fat and calories than the store bought version. See my note above the nutrition info for the recipe I use. Hi Wendy,

My family would not like them either....do you add more oats or adjust the other ingredients to compensate for not adding the 1 3/4 cups of seed and nuts you don't add? Made your granola bars today and loved them! When you make the applesauce granola for the bars, you said you don’t put in all the nuts and seeds.

Been looking for recipe similar to the Quaker bars forever. One of the most appealing things about the quarker bars is the calorie content. What is the nutritional info for your bars?

My next batch will have some white chocolate chips and chopped almonds along with the blueberries.

What granola did you use? A lot of the store bought granolas can be full of extra fat and calories which is why I like to start with that applesauce granola recipe I linked to. You can even make that without sugar to cut the calories even more. And obviously, any version with chocolate chips and marshmallows is going to be worse than if you just use raisins or dried fruit but sometimes you just want chocolate! :) I still think they are worth it to make at home since the store bought ones are full of chemicals and who knows what else.

Wowzers! They sure do taste good, though lol I made the smores ones the other day, and while they are delicious, I was very shocked when I entered in the recipe at http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp to find out these have twice the calories and nearly 10 times the amount of fat as the Quaker bars!!
