Cinnamon berry granola bars

Made these for the first time and tweeked the recipe a bit. Had pumpkin seeds. Walnut. Cranberrys and dried Banana chips. Only used half the sugar then when mixing it all together added honey until the consistency was thick. Came out perfect held together really well and actually crunchy.

These are so good. Great for a swet craving, and I covered the top of the pan with grease proof paper for the last few minutes to stop it getting to hard and burnt on the top.

So moorish. Like most people I halfed the sugar but could have cut down a bit further as I used dates and of course you have the sweetness of honey. I used pumpkin seeds and pecan nuts. I also added matcha tea powder to my recipe. Obviously this will give it a green colour And once cold the taste of tea is barely there. I’m not a tea lover but love the benefits of matcha tea. I also added a cheeky drizzle of white chocolate. Love these bars as a snack with my coffee.

I halved the sugar, used 80g of butter and used pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds, for texture and colour contrast against the red of the cranberries. I press them down very, very firmly into the tin, bake for 30 mins uncovered and a further 10 mins covered. Cut them in the tin while cool, not cold, and leave them in the tin until cold. They are slightly crumbly but a lot less so after the tweaks above.

These last no time at all in our house!

I used the recipes amount o sugar, honey and butter but did use jumbo oats, so perhaps this is the issue. There definitely seemed to be enough liquid to bind but post oven, they are crumbly as others have commented. May use as granola...

Too sweet even with only two thirds of the sugar ☹️

Great recipe, and they keep for ages. I've made these dozens of times, here are a few tips 1. Half the sugar, it's not necessary 2. Use pumpkin seeds, not sunflower seeds, they're tastier and more colourful. 3. I use mixed chopped nuts as they're a bit cheaper than walnuts 4. Make sure the butter and sugar is really hot before adding it. I generally let it start to boil then throw it into the oats. 5. Chop the cranberries roughly. 6. Make sure the mixture is pressed down very firmly into the tin. I use a spatula with non-stick paper wrapped around it to avoid sticking. 7. Cook until light brown on top, the longer in the oven without burning the better. Underbaked and they'll fall apart 8. Cut once cool, not while they're hot. Use a big knife cutting down sharply and not sawing at them. Good luck ;-)

Made them for the first time, and my bars didn't crumble. I heated the butter sugar and honey mixture until there were a few small bubbles (not boiling), and then when the granola bars were baking I took it out of the oven at 30 minutes pressed it down and baked for a further 10. I let it cool for about 6 hours and then cut it up. I also substituted walnuts for pecans, and added some pumpkins seeds. Delicious!

These are great, had no problem at all with them crumbling, wonder if other people who did used jumbo oats? Also can help to make sure you melt the sugar and honey as well as the butter and blend well before adding oat mixture
