I love chewy granola and cereal bars, but the commercial brands are loaded with sugar and not-so-wholesome ingredients. I’ve tried many different recipes for homemade granola bars, but nothing has met my standards until this.

I adapted this recipe from a Betty Crocker cookbook that my mother gave me for Christmas. The original recipe used more sugar and pie filling. I replaced the pie filling with raisins (or cranberries), the excess sugar with honey.

Now, this is my favorite recipe for an on-the-go breakfast or snack.
