Homemade 'Nola Bars

I tried a new recipe for granola/energy bars this weekend. I think I'm in love.

I got the recipe from Readers' Digest, of all places. Here it is.

I used walnuts, currants, and choc chips. Wowsa. I LOVE it. The sweetness comes largely from the chocolate chips, which surprised me. I think I could leave out the chocolate and then play with savory granola bars. Maybe do sesame and ginger? Craisin and orange zest?

YUM! The toddler approves, too.

those look delicious!!!! too bad about the egg/egg whites. i have no idea if i could just substitute egg replacer... it sounds like it wouldn't work QUITE as well....

I bet you could, S. I think the original recipe calls for egg white product so any binder should do.
