      Love all these ingredients! I especially love that it's a balanced mix of nuts, seeds and coconut. The grain-free granola bars that are ALL nuts can be a bit too much. These look perfect.

      Perfect. It looks exactly like what I was searching for. I don't have molasses so I will tr and play with maple and honey instead.

      VERY VERY YUMMI, I used peanut butter, used honey instead molasses and didn’t use any sweeteners and the outcome is just DELICIOUS.
      Thank you for the great treats. My only concern is that they are very addictive 🤣.

      Well, despite the word "easy" being right in the title, I managed to mess these up! I followed the recipe exactly, but my batter was very dark brown, like chocolate. I kept checking to make sure the recipe said a tablespoon of molasses and not a teaspoon thinking I'd used way too much, but I didn't. They taste okay. I'll add more sweetener next time and probably use peanut butter instead of almond butter because they are suuuuper almondy (which is okay for me, but I'm trying to get my kids to eat them).I didn't add any topping, and I used a stevia-erythritol blend (Pyure) for my sweetener. I'll have to try again sometime because I do like the chewy texture!

        Hi Jill, The almond butter version is much darker in color than the peanut butter or sunbutter version. You can adjust the sweetener to however you like it, just do a little taste test before adding more.

        Hi Mimi,Thank you for the kind words. I am thinking of making my next book on Amazon and possibly remaking my current book on Amazon kindle. But it will be awhile, as I am currently learning the process of creation for Amazon.

      These look great, but shouldn't the net carbs be 4.5 since the total carb is 7.5 and the fiber is 3?
