Granola Bars




Granola Bars

This is my favorite granola bar recipe, because this recipe stays together unlike some other recipes that just crumble and break into pieces. I usually add three types of nuts or seeds.

 3  1/3 cups rolled oats
½  cup honey
½  cup brown sugar
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 dark chocolate chips
 ½  cup melted butter
1 tsp cinnamon
 ½  cup raw sunflower seeds
½  cup raw pumpkin seeds
 ¼  cup raw sesame seeds
½  cup raisins

·       Line a 15” x 11” cookie sheet with parchment paper.
·       In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients. Then add the honey and butter, mix well.    
·      Place the mixture into the prepared cookie sheet and pat down firmly.

Line the edges with foil so it does not burn. Take foil off 10 minutes before there done.
·       Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown.
·      Score into 24 bars, then after there cool cut the bars completely.

   Also good with: cherry flavored cranberries, ½ cup coconut, almonds, walnuts, etc..
