I have an extremely yummy recipe for granola, so I wanted to make it into bars. I took the binding components of a different granola bar recipe and applied it to my granola. Unfortunately, it did not want to come out of the pan. It was stuck. Instead of a nice bar as Alton Brown had it, mine was a solid brick that busted into bits. Good tasting bits, but bits nonetheless.
