Last night I made the Cinnamon Apple Bars in the KA Whole Grain baking book - delicious place to use cinnamon chips! They are moist, good apple flavor and were enthusiastically received by dinner guests and now my 17 year old daughter is eating them for breakfast! I did make a couple changes - omitted the peanut butter glaze ( thought it wouldn't be necessary and might be too sticky for my taste), used half butter and half oil and did not bother to food process the oats but instead used quick oats. I also added some pecans, my daughter (not a big nut fan suggests next time use dried cranberries). We didn't miss the glaze at all, in fact I will probably use a little less sugar next time. By the way, I'm a dietitian and really enjoy this cookbook and this blog. I do find lots of the recipes can be "tweaked" to be less saturated fat so better for controlling one's cholesterol. Thanks!
