Directions
Starbucks Chewy Fruit and Nut Bars,In fall 2008, Starbucks added several “healthy” breakfast items to their bakery case. My husband commented to me, “Look, they have a granola bar that looks exactly like the ones you make!” I checked their list of ingredients and then made modifications to my Recipe #236509 #236509, so that they are as close to the Starbucks version as possible. Take them to breakfast meetings at work, when you need something MORE than a donut, muffin or bagel.,I was primarily interested in this recipe because it allowed me to use ingredients I had left over from my Christmas cooking. Bought only oats and sunflower seeds. The next time I make it will be another reason entirely – it was great tasting! I think I will include it in my future Christmas food gifts. Thanks for sharing this recipe.,All I have to say is thank you for sharing this recipe. My boys and my husband like them:) just happy I can make these yummy bars:) I had to make some substitution just because one of my kids are allergic to peanuts. used soy butter instead of peanut butter and took out the nuts. Still great:)

Note: Starbucks Does not List Corn Syrup in Their Ingredients, but the Sweetener in Their List Is not Readily Available. I Tried Using Maple Syrup, but the Bars Were Very Crumbly and Would not Stay Together in Bars. Therefore, I Found That Corn Syrup Is the Best Ingredient That Is Readily Available. |
