They're considered granola bars, but when I tasted them I immediately thought "oatmeal cookie bar" instead.<BR/><BR/>INGREDIENTS<BR/>2 cups rolled oats<BR/>1/2 cup packed brown sugar (next time I might even use less)<BR/>1/2 cup wheat germ<BR/>3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon<BR/>1 cup all-purpose flour<BR/>3/4 cup raisins (optional)<BR/>3/4 teaspoon salt<BR/>1/2 cup honey<BR/>1 egg, beaten<BR/>1/2 cup vegetable oil<BR/>2 teaspoons vanilla extract<BR/><BR/>DIRECTIONS<BR/>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.<BR/><BR/>In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.<BR/><BR/>Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges.<BR/><BR/>Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.<BR/>You can add anything to this... cranberries, dried fruits, sunflower seeds, etc.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, really yummy!heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585727879797305803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825026573449733117.post-42814975763898194652008-09-19T11:19:00.000-05:002008-09-19T11:19:00.000-05:00yum i wnat to try your recipes!yum i wnat to try your recipes!Gidget Girl Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608212322775924487noreply@blogger.com
