These aren’t your average granola bars—they’re bakery-worthy, with a tender, cake-like crumb and a satisfying chew, held together by the natural sweetness of fruit and honey, not corn syrup or refined sugar overload. Think of them as a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a wholesome breakfast square: deeply comforting, lightly spiced, and packed with texture from your favorite mix-ins. Best of all? They’re naturally egg-based for binding (no flax eggs needed), gluten-flexible, and ready in 35 minutes flat.
