Made my granola using coconut oil and left out the brown sugar when I made it into bars, again using coconut oil. They are delicious I will be making them again soon.

Hi, I saw your AMAZING granola bars, and I was wondering if I could use oats instead of granola, also I like putting rice krispies in my granola bars, will either ingredient affect the outcome of this beautiful bar?

Hi Kayla, I’ve never tried it with olive oil, but I’m sure it would be fine as long as it’s a very ‘neutral’ and basic olive oil…ie) not too fruity, herby, etc. Hope that helps!

Hello,
Just curious do you have to use corn or grapeseed oil? All I have is olive oil?

Caroline – Though I’ve never tried it, you may want to consider ‘soy’ butter or sunflower seed butter.

i didn’t know where to write this comment, so i decided to post it here
i just want to say that i LOVE this website. i’m in love with baking and making simple things, and i’m the kind of person who can just sit there for hours and read/look up recipes. so i saw this… i forgot where, but i thought i’d check it out. and
1) i adore the format of the website, without capital letters, and the simplicity of it all
2) the photographs
3) the ingredients are not impossible to get
4) the recipes aren’t impossible to make
5) everything is so creative and healthy!
so i decided to try these recipes as soon as can
awesome website, seriously
and i love that actually reply to the questions.

My son is also allergic to peanut butter and we are avoiding anything that is related to nuts. Is there anything else besides almond butter or sun-butter that can be used to bind the bars. It is very frustrating because the only bars he will eat are purchased from the store and are peanut safe but LOADED with sugar! Help…

Hi Julie – If your son can have almond butter, that would work just as well.

My son can’t take anything with peanut butter in it to school (or anyplace else for that matter). Is there a way to make granola bars without peanut butter?
