These turned out really good. I changed a few things (as usual my husband would say). I used whole wheat pastry flour, brown puffed rice, cinnamon chips instead of white chocolate,and substituted the cranberries for dried cherries. I also didn't want to open an entire can of evaporated milk so I used fat free half and half instead. I also added a 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce to the recipe since so many reviewers stated it was too dry. Will make again!

I have made this recipe twice and everybody loved it. The granola bars disappeared very quickly. The second time I added some regular chocolate chips and it was just as good.

These bars are great tasting, will make them again. Batter a little dry for mixing so I added a little milk, turned out great and very moist.

Once all the ingredients were assembled, this was an easy recipe. I was so glad that it is very healthy and all age groups would enjoy it. I would definitely make it again.

Bars were rather dry. I'd also add more dried cranberries.

There is a gluten free flour that you can buy to use instead of wheat flour. It works just as good.

My daughter is gluten intolerent. What type of flour can be used instead of the wheat flour and the oats? Is it possible to use the rice flour or some other type of gluten free flour
