Hi Jennifer. You can use other types of nut butter like almond or peanut, or a few TBL of vegetable oil, safflower oil or sunflower oil. I use flax seed, I’m not sure how ground flax would work in this recipe.

Thanks!

Buff, you can use the basic recipe to make granola bars. The trick is to get it sticky enough to hold the ingredients together. I’d use maybe 1 cup of the nut butter and 1/2 cup honey, and add more depending on how well it clumps. Then press it into a sprayed brownie pan, then refrigerate.

Love granola. What can you use if you don’t like cashew butter? Also, ground flax or seed? I keep ground at home all the time – but not seed.

Awesome. I’ve been looking for something like this. I’ve been riding my bike a lot lately and this looks like a great energy bar alternative!

Yummy.

My whole family loves Granola. I don’t usually make it myself, but I buy the organic stuff from the farmer’s market. My five year old is happy enough to eat a cup of granola as a snack.

Good stuff!
