Amy on 2026-04-30 (3 stars): I was hopeful about this recipe but just found these way too sweet - the honey was overpowering. I ended up having to add 1/2C more oats to not waste the mixture, but that made it way too crumbly - solved by adding it over tinned apples to make a delicious apple crumble, and eating with Greek yoghurt as a granola. Also added walnuts and a handful of chopped dates.
Sam on 2026-05-04 (5 stars): I’ve already made these like 5 times! And only discovered this recipe like 2 months ago. My pregnant best friend loves them (has not started to lactate so can not confirm they do or don’t help). My mom tried one and asked if I could make it with protein powder! I’ve made so many different versions and they are all delicious.
