Granola Bars

***These are super yummy***




2 cups rolled oats


1/4 cup packed Brown Sugar


1/2 cup Wheat Germ


3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1 cup flour


3/4 cup extras (raisins, choco chips, PB chips, sunflower seeds, nut etc.)


3/4 teaspoon salt


****




1/2 cup honey


1 egg, beaten


1/2 cup vegetable oil


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


****


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 9 X 13 pan.




2. Mix the first group of ingredients together. Make a well in the center of the mixed ingredients and pour the rest of the ingredients in the well. Mix well using your hands. Press into 9 X 13 pan.




3. Bake about 25 min for chewy bars, 30-35 min for crunchy. Cool for 5 min and then cut.






*My notes*


*I didn't use all the oil it called for. If you want healthier bars you could play around with using Applesauce instead of oil. Or maybe Coconut Oil.


*The batter is super sticky! Use the back of a spoon that has been covered in butter to press into pan.


*If you want more flavor you can add Nutmeg.
