This recipe is a good base recipe to alter. Very moist and the sweetness is right on BUT very bland and lacking in flavour depth. Could use more spices like nutmeg, cloves, ginger etc. Could use more ingredients like nuts, raisins, dates etc. Could use more, period. But a great recipe to make a bar that you’d like to alter!

Just made this in an 8X8 square baking dish, using the exact ingredients listed above, but with only 1/4 c honey instead of 1/2 c. It was PERFECT! I have been off refined sugar for awhile, and I don't like super sweet stuff at breakfast anyway, but I think 1/4 c of honey is plenty. You can really taste the coconut and apple. Delish! I could even imagine it with more cinnamon. I also ran it through 2 different nutritional calculators, and using 8 servings (which makes more sense than the 5 listed above), it comes to 213 calories per serving, 5.3 g fat, 2.9 g saturated fat, 23 mg cholesterol, 239 mg sodium, 36.6 g carbs, 5.1 g fiber, 16.1 g sugar, and 5.3 g protein. If you were to switch to unsweetened plain almond milk (I only had whole cow's milk on hand) calories drop to 202, fat 4.8, sat fat 2.5, cholesterol 20 mg, carbs 35.7, sugar to 14.9, protein to 4.6.
