Tips: These are tasty little granola bars that go great for breakfast, snack or dessert. I decreased the butter to cut down on the fat content but they do come out crunchy. They would be good served with vanilla or plain yogurt. I used peach preserves because that what I had. I think any flavor of fruit jam would taste wonderful, especially if you have any you've canned yourself. I also shared this recipe at Simply Sugar & Gluten Free's Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays.
