GRANOLA BARS

3 1/2 cups oats
1 cup raisins
1 cup nuts (any kind)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/3-1/2 cup honey or light molasses (your preference)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

A mixture of nuts works best. Raw peanuts are very good as one part of the mixture. Combine dried fruit with the raisins for added variety. Taste the granola and add more or less honey or molasses according to your preference.

It's possible to make a double batch of the basic mixture for two purposes; before adding the honey, remove half of the mixture and store in refrigerator to be used as breakfast cereal. Proceed with remaining mixture as above to make the bars.

Making the Granola:

In a large, ungreased shallow pan, toast oats and nuts in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes. Toss with remaining ingredients, mixing well.

Press firmly into a 15"X10" jelly roll pan which has been generously sprayed with non-stick spray or brushed with peanut or vegetable oil.

Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned along edges. Cool. Cut into bars.

I omitted the egg, sub coconut oil for the butter, used brown rice syrup instead of honey & left out the sugar. Awesome, vegan & less calories!

Just made this! Was very good, I had to adjust this to fit my diet. Substituted the brown sugar with agave nectar and used steel cut oats. Also left out the honey. My new favorite snack!!

Colleen (Ohio) says:

I made the mistake of adding chocolate chips and the heat of the toasted oats and nuts melted them, didn't care for the taste after that, I used honey, no raisins. It crumbled instead of forming bars. Definitely will leave out the chips next time.
