These granola bars were somewhat of a disappointment. They are VERY, VERY small, contain LOADS of various sugars (sugar, molasses, barley malt, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, invert sugar, sorbitol and fructose) and preservatives (TBHQ and BHT), are SPARSE on raisins and contain all sorts of things not usually in granola bars—like oatmeal cookie pieces, crispy rice, rice flour and glycerin. They also contain partially hydrogenated AND hydrogenated oils—both of soybean and cottonseed (ie: trans fat, even though the nutrition facts say 0 Grams trans fat). I expected something a little more nutritious from Quaker Oats. If you don’t mind this stuff, they did taste okay (mostly like cinnamon), but were too sweet and not “raisiny”. About two medium bites per bar. The price from Amazon was good and Amazon shipped them quickly and in good condition.

The Oatmeal Raisin bars by Quaker are a tasty treat, but unlike some bars, they aren’t too sweet or too bland. They have enough sweentess to make them flavorful, but don’t go to extremes. They are relatively low in fat content (90 calories, 15 fat calories) and pretty convenient to have with you if you just want a quick snack, but don’t want anything too heavy. They are also appropriate for any time when you get a little craving for something unhealthy (something you might regret), something like potato chips or cookies. For this reason, they are a healthy alternative to “junk” food. I tend to like to eat them for breakfast, but they are also an excellent “in between” meals snack. In stores, it will cost you about three or four dollars for a pack of 10. I’ve tried a few of the others kinds made by Quaker Oats, but these are my favorites.

I stumbled across these in the grocery store today, after having purchased the 25% less sugar chocolate chip version. Surely there must be a tasty oatmeal raisin equivalent, my stomach wondered. Sure enough there is! Just 90 calories, 10% less than the chocolate chip version?! Sounds promising I thought. No high fructose corn syrup, 0 g trans fats, sign me up! Upon closer inspection, these granola bars aren’t quite as healthy as they’re advertised; they still contain corn syrup, though not “high fructose” corn syrup, as well as a bunch of preservatives, oligofructose, polydextrose, and various hydrogenated oils. Minus 1 star.
Taste wise, they’re terrible compared to their low fat chocolate chip brethren. There’s nary a raisin to be found, and somehow, the oatmeal to barley/rice ratio is very low on these compared to the chocolate chip version. If I wanted a barley/rice bar, I wouldn’t have bought a product that said “granola” on the front. Additionally, the bar is very dry; I think the lack of a nice fat (chocolate chips) definitely leaves something to be desired.
Don’t buy the 90 calorie oatmeal raisin bars. Buy the lowfat 100 cal chocolate chip ones if you truly must have “lowfat”, but I’d recommend just getting the full-fat, tastier regular Quaker bars. It’s really only just a 40 calorie difference, and you can teach yourself some better self-discipline.
