- This is really cool! Thanks for doing such a thorough analysis on the nutritional value of my fiber bomb bars. I do use them as a meal substitute, or a really hearty breakfast if I'm planning to just have a green salad for lunch, so I feel a little less guilty about making larger servings of this recipe. BUT! I agree that something can be done to lower the point value on this thing. For instance, I believe that the stick of butter that I use as a a base can be eliminated or cut back to several tbsp. I think what you want to use in its place is mashed bananas. Try substituting a little less than 1/2 cup and see if that comes out better. Also, the bananas will add a little more sweetness naturally so you can cut back a bit on the honey. --Ubernerd 08:39, 15 May 2009 (EST)
