Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hi, everyone, I am just so excited right now. www.MissRoben.com has granola bars - actual, real granola bars with the cakey stuff on the outside and the fruit on the inside, like the nutrigrain bars - that are egg, gluten, dairy, and corn (and I think nut and soy) free. My 3 year old son absolutely LOVES them (they came today). He's been semi-eating those nut " granola " bars from the health food store, but he's not all that into them. They are a bit pricey at $1.49 a pop, but to me they are worth it! And, I found that Shaw's brand (Northeast foodstore chain) semi-sweet chocolate chips are parve! No cross-contamination issues, and they are $1.50 a bag! Yippee! Love, Heidi, mom to Cal, 5, stomach of steel, and Jake, 3, celiac, corn, dairy, pollen, dust mites and wife to Jeff, super dad and hubby living healthy and happy in Massachusetts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Heidi, I was excited to hear about these NutriGrain style bars. BUT, I never want to pay the price for these and am always trying to copy them myself. VegSource has a great lady named Chef Deb that helps me out a lot with getting me started with copying recipes. I asked her about it and this is what she sent to me. It is a bit different but it is a start. I still thought about making it with the fruit in the middle instead of just mixed together. Let me know if you try anything with it. Gluten-Free Nutrishin' Bars 1/2 cup chick pea flour 2 cups crispy rice cereal 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 cup granular fructose 1/8 tsp ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) powder 1 cup chopped dried apricots 1/2 cup chopped dates 1/2 cup chopped raisins 1 banana, mashed 1/2 cup almond butter 1/2 cup rice syrup 2 tsps vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients.In another bowl, mix remaining ingredients.Mix both batches together.Press the mixture into a greased 13 " x 9 " pan.Bake for about 20 minutes. Do not overbake.Let cool.Cut into bars. For packing, wrap well. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
