I love these bars!!!! I eat a breakfast bar, banana and yogurt every morning for breakfast. The bars were just getting to expensive and had a lot of sugar. So, I looked to the "Zaar" and found these. I made them with dried cherries instead of raisins - just don't like them. I didn't have any evaporated milk so I used 1/2 n 1/2. I also added a little bit of cinnamon - I like spice with my oatmeal. Made them in a 9 X 13 and cut them in 16 large bars. Thank you for this post.

We need to leave for school for my daughter at 6:45 am, so I was looking for some healthy options to grab and eat in the car. This basic recipe is fantastic. We have tried with chopped prunes and walnuts and are about to try dried cherries. I also plan to try peanut butter (minus some of the oil). Thanks for providing this!

These were good. Not too sweet, although I did use dried apricots in place of raisins and added in a few dark chocolate chips as well as pecans instead of walnuts. Both my little ones like these and I always prefer to give homemade when able. Thanks!

Very enjoyable bars here. I made half without the raiins though. This is perfect, because I dont have to spend gobs of money on those cereal/breakfast bars at the store. A very very easy recipe with great flavors. Made for Zaar Stars.

These worked out wonderfully! I had been searching for something wholesome that my daughter "eat by berself" for breakfast and these were great. I omitted the nuts and used 2 cups of organic raisins since she only has two teeth. I may experiment with chopped apples, dried bananas and applesauce instead of oil. Endless possibilities! Addelyn and her daddy both gave 5 stars! Thanks for making my mornings easier with a toddler friendly breakfast cookie!
