These are awesome! I used almond butter, since I’m allergic to peanuts. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Hi,

Trying these again. I think I’ve been cheating and not taking the whole 7 minutes with the Red River/pb. I probably got cocky the second and third time I made it and didn’t take enough time. I will let you know how the next batch goes!

Hm, Jennifer, I’m not sure. Maybe check your recipe one more time to make sure there’s not a typo. Sometimes I copy recipes down wrong from the internet. Also, did you try to cut back on the pb or honey? I find that often makes them crumbly. What grain are you using? Are you adding or changing them otherwise? I’ll try them again soon and send you an email if I find a mistake, but the comments I’ve been getting so far are good, so I really don’t know. You’re sure you aren’t overheating the pb/honey mixture? I don’t think that would REALlY matter but maybe it does in this case. Keep me posted and I’ll try to figure out what might be happening.

I’ve made this several times. The first time they came out beautifully, the next three they were all crumbly and wouldn’t stick together. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions?

Delicious! Made this earlier this week. I used dried papaya instead of dried apricots just because that’s what I had in the back of the cupboard. (And I mean way in the back…apparently dried papaya doesn’t go stale or bad quickly…). I cut them twice the size of yours. Somewhat irrationally my eyes convince me to eat +++portions if each portion looks small. I can’t say how helpful it was to know I could come to FCP to find lickety-split a healthful, nutritious protein bar recipe. Saved me gads of time searching and trialing. Thanks!

Hey, this recipe looks delicious and I would love to try it but I can’t eat peanut butter… do you have any ideas as to a good substitute? More honey? Molasses? If you come up with a idea do you think you could email me? Thanks so much! nads_87@hotmail.com

Jen! I made these tonight! I changed the recipe slightly, mostly because of lack of ingredients. I used the new Mountain Mix from Kashi – we’ll see how they turn out. Thanks for the recipe!

[...] bars that don’t offer nearly as much protein. What else is great about ‘em? In her blog Fresh Cracked Pepper, Jennifer mentions that they’ll last up to a month outside of the freezer, and when frozen, [...]
