I cooked at F for 15 minutes longer than the recommended time and they are still very moist on the inside. Have never made these before. Hi Katie! Yes, they will be moist due to having the banana and applesauce in the mixture. You could try baking them a little longer.

Hope you enjoy them! These were awesome! Really good. Looking forward to the almond butter cookies :. Added extra banana, PB and some semi-sweet chocolate chips. I love that there is no added sugar in this recipe, which makes me feel really great about serving this to my kiddos before they get on the school bus.

I am used to making the no bake protein balls with oats, honey etc. wanted to try something different for the family. Unfortunately, these turned out very bland. Unlike others, I made zero substitutions. Followed everything in the recipe aside from adding chocolate chips.

Even with the added sweetness of chocolate, I could not get the kids, nor my husband to eat these and he will eat anything! I think for healthy on the go oatmeal snacks, we will stick to our no bake recipes. Really wanted to like this yet tasted pretty bad :.

The texture was weirdly hard but also gummy. Zero flavour. Not sure what I did, I followed the recipe exactly. So disappointed, threw the whole batch in the garbage as was completely inedible.

The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself and others so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you. Hey Miranda, I made these 2 days ago and had the same reaction.

I submitted a comment and am hoping the author replies soon with some suggestions. I REALLY wanted to love these. I made two batches. One with pb and banana and the other with Nutella and craisins. Both were super flavorless. Other than that, they were super easy to make, bake, cut, and store.

Any suggestions? Hi Krystal, First of all, I am sorry you were disappointed with this recipe. That is a real bummer and frustrating. These are definitely not your typical breakfast bars, especially if you usually buy them from the store.

If that works out fine, you can add more PB next time. Adding chocolate chips is never a bad idea either. I hope it goes better for you next time please let me know! I will definitely add more honey to make them a tad sweeter next time. The recipe worked perfectly.

Saving this one. I made these bars pretty much according to the recipe. But I added a little extra peanut butter and honey. They were DELICIOUS! Came out really good. Definitely adding these to my recipe book. Load More Comments. Skip to content The Well Plated Cookbook is now available!

I also had an idea to add pumpkin spice and use pumpkin puree instead of banana next time for a pumpkin pie flavor. My rule of thumb for all baked goods is 3 days on the counter, fridge after that.

I also forgot the water, and added no sweetener and they came out perfect anyway! I did add flax seeds, walnuts and raisins because all my sweet breads must have those 😀 Thanks again Katie! This came out really sticky for me.

The kids liked it anyways. I did add 2 tbsp of peanut butter, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds, and put some raspberries as a middle layer. So glad your kids liked them! Most likely, adding a layer of raspberries would add extra moisture to the recipe, as raspberries have a high water content.

I will have these on hand ALWAYS!! I added flax seed to too! They are a delightfully, tasty snack that is healthy! They are so good! We always have over ripe bananas at our house and get tired of banana bread.

This recipe will be my go to from now on to use up all those bananas! It was quick, easy and very delicious! Taste great. Using the recipe above without adding choocolate chips or nuts and using almond butter is double the calories states.

Belinda Winover Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars. They are so delicious and love the recipe!! Kristin August Hi, Was excited to try this recipe but the coconut oil did not in fact melt back in, it remained in clumps.

To be fair I did use frozen berries that I rinsed and patted dry, but I added the full amount of oats plus a little extra to account for the extra moisture. Hey August! What kind of coconut oil did you use?

Standard coconut oil has a melting point of 78 degrees so its impossible that the bars were cooked through but the coconut oil stayed in clumps. Using frozen berries would increase the baking time and, as you said, add extra moisture. mary connie Hannah Julie Ward Sami Thank you for this recipe!

Absolutely delicious! For our favorite version, I substitute almond flour for the oat flour and full fat yogurt for the coconut oil and cut the honey by half.

First, stir together the wet ingredients — the cashew or peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Second, fold in the dry ingredients — the oats, chocolate chips, and pepitas. The mixture might seem dry at first, but keep stirring! Everything will be fully incorporated in no time. Next, press the bars into a parchment-lined baking pan.

Scoop the mixture onto the bottom of the pan, and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper. Firmly press the mixture to the sides of the pan with your hands.

Then, use the back of a measuring cup to smooth and flatten the tops of the bars. Finally, chill! Transfer the pan to the fridge, and allow the mixture to chill for one hour before you slice and eat the bars.

Take care to press the mixture into the pan. Honey and brown sugar help make a glue for the bars. The honey and brown sugar really helps with keeping the bars together. Chocolate chips added to the mixture help, too.

We add some to the granola mixture while it is still warm. You might notice some of the chocolate melts — this is totally okay, it acts as extra glue, holding the bars together.

Chill for two hours. Finally, we like to refrigerate the granola mixture for about 2 hours. This hardens everything and makes it easy to cut the granola mixture into bars.

Right out of the refrigerator the bars will be hard since they are cold. Leave them out for an hour and they will warm to room temperature and become a little softer and chewy.

The bars keep at room temperature for about 1 week. Just make sure they are tightly covered or sealed in a container. Recipe updated, originally posted March Since posting this in , we have tweaked the recipe to be more clear and added a quick recipe video.

These homemade granola bars are so much better than what you can buy at the store, especially since you can substitute for your favorite dried fruit or nuts. While these are very simple to make, there is a 2-hour wait for the bars to firm up enough to cut. Line the bottom and sides of a 8-inch or 9-inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Transfer to a large bowl. Cook, stirring occasionally until butter melts, the mixture is bubbling and the sugar completely dissolves. Mix well.

Stir to combine. Some of the chocolate chips will melt a little. This is fine, they turn into glue and help to hold the bars together.

Press hard here, this way the bars will stay together once cooled and cut — We press for about one minute to be extra safe. Cover then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for about 30 minutes.

Remove the block of granola mixture from pan then peel away the foil or parchment. Cut into 12 bars. For the softest bars, keep at room temperature. For slightly harder bars, store in the fridge. Bars will keep in the freezer for up to three months when wrapped well.

This was very very delicious!! I did add some tweaks to it though… maybe if i tell u you could make it EVEN BETTER!! so i added lemon zest, strawberries, banannas, and blueberries!! These are definitely not your typical breakfast bars, especially if you usually buy them from the store.

If that works out fine, you can add more PB next time. Adding chocolate chips is never a bad idea either. I hope it goes better for you next time please let me know! I will definitely add more honey to make them a tad sweeter next time.

The recipe worked perfectly. Saving this one. I made these bars pretty much according to the recipe. But I added a little extra peanut butter and honey. They were DELICIOUS! Came out really good. Definitely adding these to my recipe book.
