My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago and we've enjoyed it ever since!
Homemade Granola Bars
2 1/2 c. oats
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. flaxseed or wheat germ
3/4 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. wheat flour
1/2 c. white flour
1 c. mini chocolate chips (optional, use whatever you like)
3/4 t. salt
1/2 c. honey
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 c. canola oil
2 t. vanilla
2/3 c. creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 9x13 pan. Mix oats, sugar, flaxseed, cinnamon, flours, chocolate chips, and salt. Make well in center of dry ingredients and pour in the honey, egg, oil, and vanilla. Mix well. Pat mixture into prepared pan. Bake for about 30 min. or until golden brown on the edges. Let cool 5 min. and cut. Store in airtight container, snack bags, and/or put half in freezer if they don't disappear immediately.
(I have made these gluten-free by substituting my GF flour blend. I'd love to find a way to cut out a little sugar, although there's not too much to begin with.)
