You have probably figured out by now that I like cinnamon. If you can count on one spice being in my kitchen, you can count on finding a giant container of cinnamon!
However, most of the things that I like that have cinnamon in them are baked, and I don’t know about where you live, but it’s been hot here.
Okay, not up in the 100’s hot like some of you (I think I would have melted by now!), but in the upper 90’s hot. Which, if you live in the north, is really hot!
So, when the desire for a baked good with cinnamon strikes, the desire to stay cool usually overpowers it. I knew I needed to come up with something that required no baking and these no bake snickerdoodle granola bars were the answer. Don’t let looks fool you.
While these granola bars aren’t the most exciting thing to look at, they are loaded with flavor, snickerdoodle flavor to be exact. Lots of cinnamon, a hint of nutmeg, and bit of cream of tartar make these granola bars anything but bland.
Those flavors also make you feel like you are enjoying a snickerdoodle cookie when you are really enjoying a healthy granola bar.
These bars contain both oats and oat bran and use only honey as the sweetener.
It’s a win win situation all around. You don’t have to heat up the house, and you get to eat granola bars that taste like cookies!
It is hard to be exact with the amount of honey that you will need, because both the type of oats and the type of flour you use will affect the amount needed. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

These look very good. No how weather here in North Georgia. It has been very windy and cool the last few days. Very unusual for this time of year. I am ready for the 80s.
