Nasty-Looking, Yummy-Tasting Granola Blondies
Last week I read CookiePie’s post about her Chubby Hubby blondies. And I wanted them. RIGHT NOW! But of course I couldn’t make them without making a few changes to make them a little healthier. Okay, I made a lot of changes. My philosophy is that one should eat well, but there is no reason to not work for “well” in terms of health as well as taste.
My bars did not look anywhere as good as CookiePie’s, but they tasted good. How good? Good enough for my Real Southern Boy husband to rate them “either 4.5 or 5 out of 5″. YES! He probably only thought they were full of fat because, well, Reese’s are full of fat. But I remain quite satisfied with getting away with granola (homemade with flax, of course) and kefir in a “junk food” bar.
And thus I present to you delicious granola blondies gone healthy/ier. Don’t expect a dry granola bar like the type you’d take on a hike. Think of a hearty, moist, sweet bar with a rich mix of flavors.
Ingreadients:
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup kefir or plain yogurt
- 1 T. vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 2 cups granola
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups chopped
- 1/2 cup Reese’s pieces
Mix together eggs, brown sugar, kefir, and vanilla. Gradually add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in granola and candy. Poor into a 9″ pan and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Cool before cutting.
ohhh those look very good! I am sure that my husband would be VERY pleased to get these tasty treats… but I am afraid that the reaces would not make it into the bars… they are his favorite!
These look like a “must make.” Thanks for the recipe.
Just wanted to extend a big “THANK YOU!” for stopping by my place and taking the time to comment. It truly means so much. Blessings!

Hubs just said, “ooo, those look good.” I guess that means we will have to try them!
Oh my word. Those look awesome! And I love that there are Reese’s in them. This is going on my list of things to make SOON!
I was just thinking about making a blondie for our church bake sale. YUM.
Love your title. This is why it’s important not to knock something until you try it. Although they don’t look that bad to me! They sound amazing–Reese’s are the bomb.
Hope you’re doing well!

Those look so tasty! I’m sure that my husband would love them as he loves anything remotely related to Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
