I took your advice and soaked the nuts overnight first. I almost added some quinoa flakes and chia seeds, but decided to save them for next time - after these come out perfect!

Couple of changes - subbed dates for the raisins (helps them stick!), cut down the agave, added re-hydrated MILA (which is an incredible blend of high-quality chia seeds, just add a bit of water to make it paste-like).

Some of my readers can't do chia or flax as they are not allowed on the SCD diet, but they really are a fabulous binder and a great way to cut down on the sugar.

Also, I only used raw unpastuerised honey - no agave!<br /><br />Considering I winged a few measurements (the additions I made), they turned out GREAT! And the chia really helped them bind. <br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122113036022960646.post-57176268451757209672012-01-21T07:57:48.014-06:002012-01-21T07:57:48.014-06:00Everything seems to matched up now...glad everythi...Everything seems to matched up now...glad everything's worked out!<br /><br />P.S.

When I want a really solid bar that holds together well, I add even more sweetener. I kept these lower in sugar for the blog, but they are quite delicate. You could even add another 3-5 Tbls.

They don't get quite as solid as a regular granola bar but more honey will make them bind much sturdier. Also press them really firmly into the pan. I even pressed them again before they cooled completely. I end up making regular granola out of the broken stuff.
