My kids and hubby loved these bars! I really like the fact that you can customize the nuts and fruit to what your family prefers. Hope you and your family enjoy this healthy gluten-free snack too!

  1. My Creative Days

    I will be trying these for sure!

  2. Queenmum

    These look wonderful!!

  3. Megan

    How do these hold up after cutting? When I’ve attempted homemade granola bars before, they’ve been really crumbly. I’m wondering if these hold up better.

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      These are definitely more chewy like a rice crispy treat because they are no bake, not crumbly. Thanks!

  4. Shannon

    Since it makes 40, can you freeze them? I think it’d be hard to go through all 40 quickly enough. Thanks!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      We ate these as a quick yummy breakfast so they lasted about a week in the fridge and were great! I think freezing would be a great idea to try as well!

  5. Leslie

    My daughter is a recently diagnosed celiac. It’s good to see a gluten free bar to make for her. Thank you!

    • Em

      Just a tip- just because something is gluten free doesn’t mean it was processed/made in a gluten free facility. One crumb of gluten can set her off. I highly suggest making your entire house gluten free.

  6. Melissa

    Lina, have you tried to make any DIY Quest Bars?

  7. Kris H.

    Thanks – my son has soy and nut allergies but I can adapt this recipe for him!

  8. Summer

    Looks yummy….my daughter has massive food allergies…..we make bars every week with organic pumpkin seeds, raw honey, organic shredded coconut, dates, enjoy life chocolate, rice chex, and sometimes we add vegan mini marshmallows. Blend in food processor, add water a little at a time. Press into to bars and refrigerate.

  9. Linda

    Do you know the sugar content of these bars..that look wonderful!!!

  10. Beverly

    These look great. I plan to try them. It would be great to analyze the nutrition of these bars for calories, fat, protein, carbs, sugar, fiber, etc. That would be really helpful. Self magazine has a nutrition analyzer. I don’t have time right now. If any one else does it, please post the results!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      According to the Canyon Ranch site—>calories 130, protein 3g, sodium 2 mg, fat 7 g, Fiber 1g, protein 3 g Carbs 15g

  11. Ashley Monroe

    I am going to make these they look amazing and I spend so much $ on other bars, what a great alternative! Thank you!

  12. Terry

    Lina,
    Looks like your pictures show the pumpkin seeds still in the shells.
    Do you eat the shells, too?

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh ha ya I guess we did eat the shells. That’s how they came in the bulk bins. Lol
