These kind of bars are just making it into our stores in India, but like you said, I’m not very happy with the list of ingredients they display.
Home-made bars beat them anyday, tastewise and nutritionwise.

Thanks for the tip about proofing loaves in the oven! I’ll have to try that out. =)

These bars look awesome! I tried to make some peanut butter granola bars but they ended up a little too crumbly..

Food for thought perhaps… just because it is natural doesn’t NECESSARILY mean it is well balanced, though I do agree there are numerous ways to make something like this at home while keeping the nutritional factors in balance and that if done properly it would be FAR superior to a storebought product.

Yes yes yes! Making your own is easy and cheap. And tastes better too.

They look delicious but I have to confess I am not a real granola bar enthusiast… Sometimes I do find a great one, but hmmmm, maybe I should try to make my own then!

What a great idea Ben! This look like a great energy source for my biking outings ;D. I would love to participate but Semana Santa is getting near and I will be gone and my plans are: Tomar el sol, pasear por la playa y cocinar poco
