I did not make these although thye look and sound delicious. The deterrent for me was the expense of the ingredients. Almonds, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and honey all contribute to making these budget prohibitive for me and I would guess many others.

Absolutely delicious! Will definitely make them again and try different fruits and nuts in them.

Five stars for this granola bar recipe. I have made these multiple times. I have never had these granola bars crumble. If we are out of these granola bars, my family begs for more. I use slivered almonds, chop up the dried cranberries and dried apples. I mix up the coconut, almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried fruits. This makes sure the cranberries are not clumping together. I add the ingredients in this order:melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon and then the egg. Next, I add all the dry ingredients except for the oat mixture. I mix this until well incorporated. Last, I add the oat mixture. I firmly press them in the pan with a metal spatula. The granola bars come out perfect every time. I cut the bars when cooled and place on waxed paper in a plastic container with a lid. I store the bars in the refrigerator.

I'm sorry to hear some of you have had a problem with these bars being too crumbly. As a result, we retested the recipe in our test kitchen. We pressed the mixture firmly into the pan before baking, let them cool completely in the pan before cutting and did not have a problem with them being crumbly. We did try to cut them while they were still warm to see if they would cut better, and the bars were too soft/sticky to cut.There was some slight crumbling when cut near a larger piece of almond or dried fruit, but it was expected.If you are still having problems, make sure you are using quick-cooking oats (not old-fashioned), cut the mix-ins smaller and be sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan.Sincerely,Peggy Woodward, RDFood EditorHealthy Cooking

These were very flavorful, but like the other reviewers mentioned, very crumbly. Easy recipe and makes a lot of granola. I would make it again and experiment with different ingredients next time.

These granola bars were fantastic! Yes, they did crumble (especially the middle ones) but the flavor is SO good that who cares? They were perfect after-school snacks and my whole family loved them! I used chopped dried cherries in mine b/c I didn't have apples and cranberries.

I made this and it didn't crumble at all. I used a pampered chef stoneware pan though, so don't know if that makes a difference. Next time I would add more dried apple and a bit less sunflower seeds as their flavor was a little strong.
