In reply to Rachel.

Hi Rachel
would you know why your recipe needs the skimmed milk powder? We don’t do dairy and I need to find low sugar treats as one of my children has weak teeth (it has to be genetic, my kids get lollies maybe once a month if they’re lucky, and if they’re amazing, and if they remind me, and if there are any in the house – I usually find another reward!). I’m cutting out his fruit and juice other than with meals so that it metabolises better and doesn’t stay in the mouth… I’m desperate to find a truly healthy snack for him (them). Carrots and cucumber and peppers (capsicums) get dull after a while…

I am very allergic to nuts and cant have sugar. I know cascadian farms makes kid sized oatmeal raisin granola bars I can have but don’t like them much so I was thrilled when a former coworker gave me this recipe. I want to try using agave or stevia in place of honey but this is the recipe for now:
2 C old fashion rolled oats
1/2 C wheat germ
2 C crispy rice cereal
1 C nonfat dry milk powder
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
2 tbsp canola oil
4 lightly beaten egg whites
1/3 C honey
1/2 C raisins or 1/4 C choc chips
Preheat oven to 325. Line 9×13 pan with foil.
Mix well all ingredients in bowl. Press in pan with spatula.
Bake 20min. Cool on rack. Cut into bars.

This has to be good because the list of ingredients is scrumptious!

It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who is disappointed by the lack of truly healthy granola bars out there! I’ve pinned this as I want to give it a try some day!
