For that amount of oats you could definitely amp up the vanilla, perhaps 1-2 teaspoons total, and think about doubling the sweetener, whichever you choose to use. Then, as others have suggested, throw in about 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped peanuts or some other nut.

Yes, all this increases the caloric/fat content but remember breakfast is the "most important meal of the day." Oh, and I always have a piece of fresh fruit with my grah-NO-la, generally served with either unsweetened almond or soy milk.

Hey, it was lovely for you to ask others to chime in on your recipe. For me, with that simple invitation, “help a woman out,” you turned an outstanding food blog into something very rare and precious: a real community. Thank you. You are delightful, and I'll be checking in again, soon.

I would add sunflower seeds and dried apple slices, cut into chunks. Dried apples are AMAZING in homemade GRUH-NO-LA bars… :)

I just made this but left out the coconut (didn't have any), and used molasses and dried cranberries for the honey and raisins. The molasses gave it a little bit of spice, which I think might've been missing from the original recipe. Either way, I'm going to have a hard time keeping this stuff in my cabinets, methinks!

All you're missing is cinnamon for your gruh-no-lah :)

Gruh-NO-lah, definitely.
And I would add nuts for some crunch – cashews or almonds, to mix with the peanuty goodness. And sub a different squishy-dried fruit for the raisins, but that's just a personal preference.

I usually use maple syrup and brown sugar in my granola, and I add some salt to make the flavor more interesting (although depending on your peanut butter it may be salty enough). Craisins or dried cherries would also be yummy.

Dude who says gray? It's GRUH. I feel like I should pound my fist or stomp for emphasis. Me Jane! You Gruh-no-lah. *pounding chest, making monkey noises* PS- I'd be more inclined to add some pumpkin seeds (I'm kinda obsessed right now) and/or some color – maybe some craisins.

I like cranberries or blueberries and some type of nut – either cashew or peanuts.
