Can't have the cocoa nibs either - damn, those cocoa nibs sound good! I'll let you know how I get on. Oh, nearly forgot - I nominated you for a meme. It's only a tiny meme of 6 words that sum up your essence. Check out the details on my blog, if you fancy it. We'd love to know more about you (albeit in a haiku-like and succinct form) x x x I’m going to try making these, but grain free. Can’t have the cocoa nibs either – damn, those cocoa nibs sound good!

I like your recipe for energy bars, especially the cocoa nibs, that must give them a good energy kick! I might try to make these without the oats (and other grains) since I am not only gun-shy on oats, also don't eat grains. You have so many yummy ingredients in the recipe and they look delicious in the photo. Hope you are well! Elana Hi Melissa,

I also put cinnamon, a little vanilla, chopped apples, walnuts -- stuff like that in the mix. And right before it's finished, I stir in some raisins, chopped dates, figs, or something like that. Top with coconut milk and it's plenty creamy. And yeah, cocoa nibs are pretty bitter. For a treat, you could add some chocolate chips. I made a batch of these granola bars the other day and added diced dried pineapple and figs. You can do absolutely anything with this recipe as a "launching pad." Enjoy! Yes, go -- Nick -- go! And let us know when you come up with something! Thanks! Jo — I add more water than what they call for and 2 tablespoons or so of ground flax seeds when I make oatmeal.

I don't eat them often because I don't like them as much as regular organic rolled oats. Besides Oreos (yes, I know...), the only other non-GF food I really miss is those regular oats! I loved regular oats! I've tried 2 different kinds of GF oats, and neither is as creamy or as deliciously scented. Does anyone know why that is? Do you think traces of gluten in regular oats make them more yummy? For your recipe, I am going to skip the nibs and use cocoa powder instead. Thanks for that suggestion.

I wrote it down on my list of things to make. I'll work on a good energy bar soon with peanut butter =). I've actually got a granola type bar in the works but it's a little different and has oats and some wheat =/. I'll see what I can do. - <a href="http://www.peanutbutterboy.com" rel="nofollow">The Peanut Butter Boy</a> Ok! I wrote it down on my list of things to make.

Add something else. This is just a guide -- make up your own version! I bet Henry would like his own version! Jo -- are you okay with oats? Your kids would like these. Add some GF/DF chocolate chips. Or some cocoa powder instead of the nibs (they can be kind of bitter tasting to a kid). Add the cocoa powder to the mix when you blend up the sticky stuff on the stove. That makes them darker and richer. Yum! Hi Kim -- oh no, the "bum" story had a happy ending! You gave up too soon. But, yes, I know what you mean, food blogs do seem to contribute to a few extra calories here and there. Hey, you have to taste and retaste! And test and retest! I'll go check out your new project. Thanks for the "head's up" on that! And very cool that your kids are skiing with kids in tow. That's the way to get them involved! Lizzie — skip the oats if you think they’ll bother you.
