This recipe looks more like what I am looking for. I had extra soaked granola from earlier this week that I put in the freezer, so I will pull it out and give this “soaked” recipe a try. Thanks for your reply.

Heather,
I’ve tried an egg, which sort of works and sort of doesn’t. The best “stick together” method is to cook the butter and honey to just the right temp (but sometimes I miss because I don’t measure with a thermometer). Check out this method with the same ingredients: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/04/08/recipe-connection-soaked-granola-bars/

Thanks! Katie

Just made this recipe and they are falling apart. I feel pretty confident that I pressed them down really well. I think the “dough” looked to dry going in, so I poured some coconut oil over the top to add some more moisture. I might try to add an egg or two next time. Any other suggestions?

[...] haven’t found a recipe I just love yet but I’m going to keep trying. The ones posted at Kitchen Stewardship sound great so these will be the ones I try next. The last batch I made (with chocolate chips) [...]

I finally made the home-made granola and love it. I stopped buying store-bought granola quite some years ago because I thought it too expensive for the amount that came in the box — plus it was just too sweet. That’s why I like your recipe — just a bit sweet, but not too much so. I added raisins to the mixture as it was cooling in the glass cake pan.
I’ve had a jar of honey given to me by a friend from his bee hive a couple of years ago and it had solidified, so I warmed it in a pan of water on the stove in its jar and it nicely liquefied. Was pleased to find a use for it.
Thanks for sharing the recipe here and in your e-book, Healthy Snacks to Go.

Thank you for this YUMMY recipe! My family gobbled these up! The only change that I will make next time is to add a little salt. I think it would really round out the sweetness! Next I’m going to try the soaked granola bars! Thanks again!

Anne,
Another reader bugs me about that 1/6 cup thing, too! It’s just the way it was written in my mom’s original recipe. I estimate w/ half a 1/3 cup. Def. not rocket science! Katie

1/6 cup of water seems like an unusual measurement; I’m wondering how you came up with that. That would be 1 1/3 oz. or 40cc? I guess one would guestimate half-way between 1/3 cup measure line on a measuring cup?
I meant to ask this question before and was reminded of it again when I read the recipe in your new eBook.
Making the granola is still on my to-do list — just haven’t gotten to it yet.
