I know it was healthy to begin with but i wanted to cut the oil out and change it up. i used turbinado sugar in place of the regular sugar,1 medium banana in place of the oil,amber agave syrup in place of maple syrup,whole wheat flour instead of white and 1/3 cup dried cranberries instead of raisins..it turned out AWESOME and i will definately make it again!

It was very dry. I wondered if some of the ingredients were incorrect or missing

These turned out great. I took them to an event and others asked me for the recipe.

But I'd have to know that they will be served right away... I didn't find them as tasty eaten the next day.

These bars were too dry. Needed more applesauce or oil or put some of the butter back in.

These sound wonderful! Does anyone know if they will work with a sugar substitute?
