These are truly excellent. I was a little skeptical at first, thinking that they'd end up fairly dry, but no - they're just right. They were just as good two and even three days after I made them. The best way to describe them would be as a cross between granola bars and muffins.
I was lucky to have all the ingredients on hand - my personal interests and shopping whims seem to be aligning more and more with Heidi's focus on whole, natural ingredients. Be warned though, to do these properly you'll need a few things that most people don't stock regularly: spelt flour (you can substitute whole wheat), cane sugar and extra virgin coconut oil.
The only tweaks I'd contemplate when I make these again (and I had to restrain myself from making them again immediately today when we finished the last one) would be adding some dried fruit for a little burst of extra flavour. I intend to experiment with dried apple, apricot, and currants in the future.
Update: I've been making these with lightly toasted, chopped almonds now instead of walnuts, and adding chopped dates, and I'm really loving the result.
