This recipe was kind of disappointing, it was really easy and very healthy, but they didn't taste right. They definitely don't taste like granola bars that we are used to, plus the banana taste was pretty overwhelming. I really want to find a great healthy granola bar because my kids love them so much it would be great to be able to make them.
