Granola Bars
2 cups Rolled Oats
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ (I used ground flaxseed)
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup all purpose flour (I used gluten free)
3/4 cup raisins, (I used dried cranberries)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey (I used vanilla agave)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used Olive Oil)
2 tsp Vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking dish with cooking spray. (I used parchment paper).
2. In a bowl, add in the rolled oats, light brown sugar, wheat germ, powdered cinnamon, all purpose flour, raisins and a dash of salt. Mix well.
3. Add in the honey, beaten egg, vegetable oil and vanilla. Stir and mix well.
4. Press the mix into the baking dish.
5. Place in oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden around the edges.
6. Remove and cool 5 minutes.
7. Slice into bars and serve.
Note.. I also used about 1/2 cup of a trail mix. (Hunter Brand from Sams) I let mine cool a little long then 5 minutes before slicing. Once they are cooled i wrapped them individually in freezer paper. Or you can use anything you like. Stored in a rubbermaid container.
