Dear Missy,

My son is allergic to milk. Is there something I can use in
place of the non-fat dry milk for the Grab 'n' Go Crispy Granola
Bars? I used powdered goat's milk the first time I made them and my
family LOVES them, but the dry goat milk is expensive so I was hoping
you could suggest a more cost effective alternative.

Thank you in advance!

Marnie

Dear Marnie,

The powdered goat's milk sounds it worked out very well for your family, with the noteworthy exception of the price...

The nice thing about milk in general is that it's got sticky proteins in it that help the bars hold together. I would also try powdered soy milk. It's far less expensive and should be readily available in your local market.

Be sure to use my recipe for "Granola Bar Fix" on the Free Recipe pages of my website, and you might even try leaving out ALL of the oil if you're using powdered soy milk. That may help it stick together even more.

Enjoy in good health : )

Missy
