Guest guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I am going on a trip and I want to take a granola snack with me. I would like to make my own because I think the commercial bars are too sweet and have too much fat. That being said, I have the granola of choice and I will add nuts and cranberries. What I need is some way to adhere the granola together to make granola bars(maybe corn syrup or peanut butter??). Perhaps bake it or refridge it-I am culinary challenged and I hope someone may be able to help me. Thank you. Gail in WNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi there, I mix some canned pumkin to my oatmeal with a little bit of oatbarn. Makes a great binding agent. Just keep the mix as most. (no too wet, not too dry.) I then bake it on a lower heat, say 325 for about 45 minutes, mixing it 1/2 through cooking. Keep an eye on it all however so it doesn't burn on you. - chuck , Erin <rileysoprano wrote: > > Check out this recipe... I've been meaning to play with it myself.
