Granola Bars

[BlessedMommy]

If you buy gluten free granola bars, which is your favorite brand and why?

 

If you don't buy them and make them at home, could you share your recipe?

 

Thanks!

I like Van's chocolate chip granola bars.  Always keep one in my purse- they don't have as much junk in them as other brands and they dont get smashed, lol.  They sell them all over the place now, at Walmart, too.

I also really like the Annies gluten-free chocolate chip granola bars, but around here I have only seen them at Target, and they are very small and not filling, so I only pick them up sometimes when I am there.  Open Original Shared Link

 

I also like these Larabar uber dark chocolate turtle bars, will pick one up sometimes:

As far as flavor goes, this one is pretty good as well.

As you can see, im a chocolate purist.  I don't like chocolate and dried fruit together. I only like dried fruit by itself.  I like to pack nuts, raisins, carrot sticks etc if I am planning and going somewhere.  They are all compact and filling.  But keeping the vans bar in my purse definitely saves me from starving sometimes!

I really like the Nature Valley granola bars.  They come in a few flavors - almond crunch is my favorite!

Good question. I'm interested in this too. My 3 year old loves the quaker chewy chocolate chip bars...but they are not gluten free. I'm going to look for one of the one Laura mentioned at the store. I'd love a recipe too!

Oh, also, I forgot to mention... I have TMJ that can flare up pretty easily, so I have to have the more chewy ones.  I can't eat the hard crunchy granola bars.  So if anyone else is looking for that, my list may help.
