I’m in my third trimester and made a batch of these to test the recipe as a possible postpartum/breastfeeding snack – my god they are delicious! Thank you, I will definitely be making more!

In reply to Cookie and Kate. That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for your reply. I'm going to make these this coming weekend! The "Healthy Granola" recipe turned out great! You were right, so much better than store bought!

In reply to Barbara. Hi Barbara, I think they are more on the soft and chewy side.

I just discovered your site and this recipe. I have a quick question. Are these bars soft and chewy, or crunchy?
I’m making your Healthy Granola Recipe while I’m reading this one:)
Everything I’ve looked at on your site looks delicious! Can’t wait to try more!
Thanks for sharing your love of cooking…and pecans!

Could you do a version where you don’t use pecans (I can’t find these where I spend a lot of time in the balkans) and also I don’t like cold bars. Can you do a baked recipe.

In reply to Katie. Hi Katie, yes, this method yields granola bars.

Hey, this looks delicious! I’m going to make it tomorrow (my first time doing granola) I’m wondering if this recipe could also be used to make granola bars? Thanks :)

Hi
This recipe is so easy to make and oh so yummy!!!
I wanted to make a quick snack for my kids and this was perfect. I made a few substitutions though. I had only one and half cup of pecans on hand and it was a snack emergency! So I made pecan butter with a mixture of pecans and half cup almonds. Used toasted peanuts instead of chopped pecans.
Thank you so much!

This is an incredibly delicious recipe!! I made the pecan butter as suggested and oh my word. After adding the maple syrup and vanilla and cinnamon for the granola bars, that mix is soooo scrumptious. The final product is perfect. But that mix before adding to the dry ingredients goes perfectly with sliced apples ‍♀️ and I’m sure so many other things.
I bought Love Real Food a couple years ago and have been making your granola recipe for years now. These pecan bars are one of my new staples. Thank you!!!
