Failed (but Oddly Still Edible) Granola Bars....

I tried to make some peanut butter chocolate chip granola bars. i have tried a recipe that i liked a long time ago but i can no longer find that one. the other day i did a quick search on the forum and made a recipe. of course i slightly edited it because i wanted granola with only the oats (no nuts, seeds or coconut). sorry but i am picky and i dont like the textures of the oats mixed with seeds. so anyways when i made the recipe i used the oats only and toasted them. i made the paste-like mixture exactly as it said to. i baked it for the correct amount of time. so here is where i labeled it a "failure"

i was supposed to bake 30 minutes at 350. so i set my timer but at ten minutes i could smell them so i checked and the mixture was bubbling considerably. it already looked burnt. but since this was my first time to make them like this so i left them in for the remainder. when they cam out they looked exactly the same. i let them set and cool. and when i went to cut them i had to STAB them and then they crumbled. they tasted okay, not even a burnt taste.

i would love love LOVE a recipe with just oats like the quaker granola bars. my fave flavor combo is peanut butter choc chip so that would be a plus.

also if anyone has any idea what could have been my biggest mistake that would be awesome. dont worry i can handle constructive criticism so bring it on. i have to learn sometime!!!

thanks all!

I'm not sure what recipe you used from here, but I maight've used the same one, and had the same results the first time I made them (crumbling).

I have found that if you let them cool only a little bit before cutting them (as in you still need a hot pad to touch the tray), they're still pliable enough that you can cut them into bar shapes. You will still likely get quite a bit of "crumbs" in the tray when you remove the bars, but I just throw that in a baggie and throw it in the fridge, and that's the first "granola" I eat before starting in on the bars. :)

Hope that helps some!

I think we'd have a better idea of what went wrong if you post the recipe.

At a guess, I'd say perhaps your oven is on the hot side, or you're at a different elevation than the author of the recipe, or maybe the rack in the oven was too close to a heating element. Not knowing the recipe, I can't make any further guesses.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
