Those sound awesome & my parents would totally dig em.. Bookmarking & will make em soon!

Just ate them - so good. I baked for 25 minutes - that seems to be good.

Yum! I'm going to make these for sure.

What dried fruit did you use

Oh & I add flax to my smoothies, yogurt, etc... I just add a teaspoon

I got a mixed one. I think there were raisins, cranberries, dates, peaches, and bananas.

This looks wonderful.

kids will love them thank you for posting this, GC

Awesome! Jackson loves granola bars.

It occurred to me.. be sure to use the rolled oats and not quick oats. I think there will be a difference.

Thanks GirlC. So it will say rolled oats on the package?

I get mine in bulk and they are identified as Rolled Oats. I just looked at my oat cereal box and they are listed as Quick... so yeah I think you should be able to know the difference, i.e. they won't be listed as just oats.

Got it, thanks!

Oh, I'll make those for sure! Granola bars are rare and expensive over here. I'll add some flax seeds to them too. BTW, I read somewhere that they need to be crushed if you want your body to absorb the maximum nutrients.
Karma, I also add psyllium to my yogurt. I read that it's super healthy and it helps digestion and ''elimination''.

Finn - yes - you need to grind or crush the flax for the body to absorb, otherwise it goes right through. I have a coffee grinder I put mine in then leave the excess in the refrigerator.

I just got a juicer & used it for the first time this morning.. I guess if I blend the juice with a banana I can add the flax to it

And apparently the pulp of the fruit & veg is great to cook with

wonderful! just wondering if there is a reason the milk should be non-fat?? thanks so much!

Oh, and do you know how long its safe to *keep* them around? just wondering if it said in the recipe...
