In reply to Catherine Anne Cervantes. Hi Catherine, I only use real maple syrup, too, not the pancake syrups made with flavored corn syrup.

I’m going to try to make these, they look great. I LOVE, LOVE cranberry orange combo in foods! Only I’m going to use my KitchenAid stand mixer to mix everything up. (my muscles aren’t what they used to be) :) My question is, did you use maple syrup like Log Cabin, or did you use a real maple syrup, like a pure Vermont maple syrup? There’s a difference in texture, thickness and taste. I only use the pure Vermont maple syrup. Will the bars be softer? Thanks for the recipe!

In reply to madelaine. Hi Madelaine, I find that storing them at room temperature dries them out more, and they are a little more crumbly but still tasty.

Hello!! Is there a way to bake these so they won’t get soft when out of the freezer? For example, I had planned to take these on a long hiking trip. And ideas? Thank you!

Hi Kate! These delicious no-bake granola bars are WONDERFUL! I used a combination of both natural almond butter and natural peanut butter, and they were fabulous! Infinitely tasty, satisfying and super portable for an on-the-go snack, I anticipate making these for years to come. I recently picked up some dried cherries at Trader Joe’s and may try substituting cherries for the cranberries and add a dash of almond extract. Thank you for a terrific recipe!

I have several bags of fresh cranberries in my fridge. Is there any way to cook or soften them to use in this recipe?

My favorite go-to granola bar recipe! These stay together really well and are super delicious. Just right amount of sweetness, and very adaptable to whatever you have on hand
