But Nature's Path gets good marks for its subtle flavor, not too sweet flavor, and abundant pumpkin seeds. Half a cup has calories and 5 grams of fat. Way clustery!
It is indeed as if the Trader Joe's people went after granola bars with hammers. It is very light in color on the granola hue spectrum. I took issue with the texture, which I found kind of mealy and sandy, maybe because rice is the third ingredient after oats and sugar.
Others liked its clean maple taste. Can't argue with the price, either. Half a cup has calories and 7. Inspired by my granola investigation, I set out to make my own. Would my granola live up to the big box brands? I riffed on an Alton Brown recipe.
The container I brought into Serious Eats HQ was devoured at once, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride when Ed suggested I start selling my granola. I got carried away adding nuts and other goodies like banana chips.
Raphael inquired whether the rich concoction's ridiculously high nut to oat ratio would de-qualify it from the "granola" category. I don't think so. Besides, it's delicious sprinkled on yogurt or ice cream, or eaten right out of your hand.
Granola is way easy to make. Just take old fashioned oats not quick-cooking and your nuts and seeds of choice, add some sweetness like brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey , and some fat usually vegetable oil , and toast in the oven.
If you want you can throw in cinnamon, nutmeg, or any other enticing flavors. Dried fruit gets added to the mix after the oats and nuts are done toasting. Or, just make my Serious Eats-approved granola. Trust me, the best granola is the stuff you make in your kitchen. This is what they use to bump up the fibre content. This one comes in at the lowest number of overall calories and has a good ratio of fibre, sugar, and protein.
The other flavours in the variety pack — Pomegranate Almond, and Simply Sweet Seeds — are also good choices. The sugar is a tad high on this one but the serving size is bigger too. Two bars come in each package, but I would recommend only eating one bar and pairing it with a fresh apple.
On top of the extra nutrition, this is actually a far tastier way to eat these bars than on their own. I find the bars on their own are dry and crumbly, but those drawbacks are a bonus when contrasted with a juicy apple.
