Granola Bars

GRANOLA BARS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan, if squares are too thick for your liking can divide up recipe and cook in 2 - 9x13 pans.

4 cups oats (rolled or quick, or 2 cups of each)
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup wheat germ or wheat bran or oat bran
1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups raisins or chocolate chips or both
1 1/2 tsp salt

Make a well in the center and pour in the following;

1 cup honey or corn syrup
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tblesp of vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter (optional)

Mix well, you may need to use your hands. Pat the mixture into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 30-35 min until the bar begin to turn golden brown at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes then cut into bars while still warm.  Do not let them cool completely or they will be too hard to cut.

A friend gave me this recipe and it is super yummy!!! 

 She wraps each bar in parchment then tapes up and her kids take them to school.

They are almost like a square :)

Enjoy
