In reply to Simone. Hi Simone, yes, I think the nut butter will ensure they hold together, but they may taste a little dry.

An alternative method to packing down the mixture is to cover the mixture with another piece of parchment paper, use your hands to flatten a bit, then squish it down with a second square pan. Also, if you want to do a double recipe, with parchment in between you can simply put a second layer on top. Great recipe. Hubby loves these.

Mine have turned out well. I’m not a sweet tooth so I find them a little too sweet. Can I reduce the maple syrup? Will they still hold together?

These are fantastic. We use them all the time. I do go more than 2 cups of mix ins and am liberal with them. Choc chips, dates, sometimes dried cranberries etc. th
I often do a combo of syrup and honey. (Spouse doesn’t prefer the syrup, so I get more on those batches!)

We (my husband and I) are obsessed! The minute we run out on this recipe I’m making a batch the very same day so we can have a granola Square tomorrow for breakfast, we love them that much! Also, I can’t tell you how many people I have shared this recipe with, lots!! Some friends came over to my house today and they said “oh hey by the way, I wanted to let you know that we’re obsessed with the granola squares too the minute we run out we make a new batch!”
Delivered a batch to a friend who just had surgery, two days later … can you please send me that recipe!

In reply to Jodie Relf. I have read this a couple of times and mine are not crumbly. Maybe it would help to weight ingredients, thats what I do. Also really press them hard into the pan and leave overnight. Hope this helps

In reply to Esse.

Hi Esse,
How much cocoa powder do you use for one batch? I love these bars and want to add the CP but not sure as to the right amount so I don’t make them too dry

These turned out perfect. I used half the honey and 6 dates. After an hour in the fridge it was firm enough to slice and eat. Perfection. Thanks Kate for another great recipe!
