Ohhh-kaaay, so I caught the tail-end of Martha today and they were making granola bars. Need I say more? I have tons of granola bar recipes (like this one…so good!) and I love to try new ones so I was up for the challenge.
This one sounded interesting because it called for vegetable oil…hmmm, different? Other than that, the ingredients are minimal and wouldn’t you know it, I had all of them in my pantry just waiting to be used. I had to try it. It’s a gluten-free recipe from the founder of Nonuttin’ Foods but you could easily make it with non gluten-free stuff if you aren’t into that. They are a chewy, crispy type of bar that you could surely personalize to your tastes with different add-ins…I just added the chocolate chips in a very small dose. I’ve gotta say, these ones are a keeper! I just love when that happens 🙂
Take a look at the final product:
Yummy in the Tummy!
My kidlets loved them and they are half gone already (please don’t tell the hubby!)

More?
YES, please!
These look so yummy!
I love when you luck out and have everything in the pantry to make a recipe without stopping by a neighbors to borrow something or running to the store.
Unfortunately for me, I have to run to the store to make these, but they are on the TO MAKE list! 😉
Mmmm, they look so yummy.
But no rice cereal, chocolate chips, and not sure about the honey. Darn pantry fairies not doing their job.
Rats!
I’m afraid I’d scarf the whole pan down my gob!!!
They look so delicious.
My child has a wheat allergy. I am going to try this one!
Heya! These look great! Also wanted to comment that I have the same stoneware baking dish and I absolutely love it! I’ve wanted to buy sets for other people but haven’t seen it again in stores. Bummer because it is a great product and I’m not sure why they seem to always stop making great products…
What type of rice cereal did you use? None of mine look like that? I usually use Perky’s, and its smaller grains.
I usually use Erewhon brand found in health food sections or just the Gluten Free Rice Krispies found in the regular cereal aisle!
