Therefore, my first recipe that I would like to share is for granola bars. They are simple, quick and something that the whole family is sure to love!
Chewy Granola Bars
4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter (softened) 1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
To this you can add any of the following: chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, raisins, chopped dried fruit, chopped nuts, etc.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients listed above. Then pour into a lightly greased pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 18-22 minutes (or until golden brown). Let cool for approx. 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving. Makes approximately 18 bars.
Enjoy!
Just an additional note to this....you can change the consistancy of these granola bars with just a simple step. If you like a soft, chewy granola bar, then put the entire mixture into one pan. But if you like a hard, crunchy granola bar, then split the mixture into 2 separate pans.
