Don't know if Meyou is around, but have you substituted anything in for the honey in your granola squares? I feed babies through preschoolers and try to avoid honey because of the youngest ones. The only thing I could think of was real maple syrup, which will cost more than I can spend on these, ha ha... Maybe this is a case where applesauce or mashed banana would work?
