I'll have to experiment with just oil. Chris, should these turn out chewy, hard, or somewhere in between? I think these would taste great with dried cranberries but not with the peanut butter.

You could also use soy nut butter. This is one of those fun recipes where I don't feel confined and can add or sub whatever I want. Thanks for the inspiration and technical details!

I tried it this morning and love it. I didn't have any apple or orange juice and was too lazy to go to the store and get some so I made them with white grape juice and raisins. They turned out great! Thank you. Thank you so much for this recipe! I tried it this morning and love it.

I know what you mean by healthy foods touting their "healthiness". It's annoying to buy something they claim is "healthy" only to find out when you're eating it that it's not all that great. On the topic of ice cream, you can make your own at home with actual healthy ingredients. It's as simple as sugar, cream and whatever flavoring you want. I've been compiling recipes to use in my Play & Freeze Ice Cream Ball on my blog: www.allthingsicecreamblog.com I loved the ice cream ball so much I called up the manufacturer to get them wholesale to spread the love online. I guarantee the kids will be in love with making their own ice cream! That recipe sounds delicious and I hope I can motivate myself to make it soon!

I'm not a fan of prepackaged snacks either and I think fruit snacks are one of the more ridiculous products out there. I did find a recipe for home made fruit gummies that are made with juice and gelatin for anyone who may be interested. http://www.cookiemag.com/food/2007/08/RecipeGummies I have another similar recipe I’m going to try tomorrow but I may as well try both.

Maybe if they keep seeing me and their dad eating it...), I used toasted wheat germ instead of milled flax seed, which I have never bought and could not see through the bag at the store. Are they similar? When I made your granola last week (which is so very yummy, although I can’t get my kids to eat it, crazies.

I am going to try this out. Thanks! I'm so with you on the food observations and your Michael Pollan quote. Okay, I am not a really, really healthy eater or anything. But I try, and I am increasingly horrified by the ingredients lists on store-bought products. Even aside from all the weirdo additives, the amount of sugar is horrendous. Especially because if there's a lot of sugar mommy will pig out on it herself... :) Yum. I am going to try this out. Thanks! I’m so with you on the food observations and your Michael Pollan quote.

My husband will be so happy (which is why I was put on this earth, right? To make sure he's happy?"). He has been asking me for a couple of months to find a breakfast that is healthy, can be eaten on the run and doesn't come out of a box. You have brought harmony back to our house in the morning. I have also become an avid label reader this past year, which is why I was glad that my mom surprised me with a bread machine. Have you ever read what goes in to a loaf of commercially baked bread?
