Number 2 on my list of 12 Things is to make granola bars that don’t fall apart. Well check that off the list already!
Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess tweeted an old recipe of hers and I figured it would be a great way to spend the afternoon with the boys while Saffron napped. They took turns pouring ingredients and mixing it all up, standing on a kitchen chair and being very careful.
They even got excited to get to choose what would go into the bars. The little chefs were coming up with all sorts of ideas, not all that wold probably work (mashed banana bars?). We finally decided on dried cranberries, dried blueberries, raisins, and the last of the almond slices. Very yummy!
And the verdict? Very good! A little crumbly, but not falling apart like they usually end up for me. I think I over cooked them a bit, which probably added to the partial crumbling. But over all far more chewy than the other recipes I have tried.
Finally, a bar to replace the store bought, individual packaged ones we used to get. Now hopefully, Michael will stop buying more boxes of bars because he hates my crumbling ones.
Woot!
