granola bars/cookies

I made granola bars the other day, or tried to. They turned out tasty, but they weren't really bars. They turned out more like a gooey mass, which sort of defeated the purpose. I tried to avoid this by using chancaca as one of the sweeteners. I thought this would sort of glue the bars together. But no. My idea was to be able to eat it on the subway, for example. But that just makes for a really big mess. So now I'm pondering the idea of granola bar cookies...or more like semi-sweet cookies made with oats and whole wheat flour, like to eat as a snack/breakfast wherever I may find myself hungry.
