Granola Bars

Granola Bars

 

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and it has become a delicious addition to our menu. 

 

Ingredients:

2 Cups oats (I buy the cheaper kind that's in a box)

3/4 Cup brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 Cup flour

3/4 Cup raisins

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 Cup honey

1 egg, beaten

1/2 Cup oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

 

Preheat your oven to 350.  Grease a 9x13 pan.  In a large bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt.  Make a well in the center and pour in honey, egg, oil and vanilla.  Mix well and then pat the mixture evenly into the pan.  Bake 25-30 minutes.  Cool for 5 minutes and then cut them while they are soft.  Leave them in the pan another 10 minutes to cool and then remove from pan and let them cool on a wire rack. This recipe makes 12 granola bars.

 

We've also used this granola as cereal.  You have to bake it until it is well done in the oven (35-45 minutes).  Let it cook and then break the mixture into tiny pieces for cereal.
