Feel free to customize this recipe to your liking. Chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raisins, dried cherries, or a spoonful of peanut butter would all be delicious additions. For a richer flavor, try toasting the nuts and seeds before adding them to the mixture. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning! If you find the bars are too sticky, try reducing the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly. Conversely, if they are too dry, add a tablespoon or two more until you reach your desired consistency. To ensure even baking, rotate the pan halfway through the baking time. Store the cooled granola bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.

May 17, 2025I've made these several times now, and they always come out perfect. The key is to really press the mixture into the pan so they don't fall apart. Thanks for the great recipe!

Nov 10, 2023I reduced the sweetened condensed milk by a couple of tablespoons, and the bars were still sweet but not overly so. Excellent recipe!
