Cranberry-Almond Granola Bars
There are plenty of granola bar options at the grocery store, but they’re also easy (and often healthier) to make at home. Feel free to vary the add-ins to your taste, swapping 2 cups of any combination of small (or chopped) dried fruit, nuts, seeds and/or chocolate chips for the dried cranberries and nuts in this version. We tested several sticky sweeteners, including maple syrup and honey, but found brown rice syrup held the bars together the best.

Strawberry-Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
These baked strawberry-oatmeal bars combine sweet summer strawberries with nutty, fiber-rich oats for a perfect snack or breakfast on the go. Or enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt or vanilla ice cream for dessert. Old-fashioned rolled oats are preferable here, as they absorb just the right amount of liquid while baking.
