Yummy in the tummy

Thank you to Andrea for introducing me to this awesome granola bar recipe. They're much better than the boxed ones! Considering how fast a box gets devoured at our house, this will be more convenient & cheaper. Here's the recipe with my modifications.

4 1/2 C rolled oats
1 C white flour
1/4 C wheat germ
1 t baking soda
1 t vanilla
3/4 C softened butter
3/4 C honey
1/3 C brown sugar
2 C mix-ins (I used chocolate chips, craisins, sunflower seeds, & almonds)

Bake in greased 9x13 pan at 325* for 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes & cut. Enjoy!
Andrea said they freeze well, so I might make a few more batches while I'm at it.

  1. Glad you like it! Out of curiosity, what does wheat germ do to it?

  2. I'd been thinking making granola bars had to be cheaper than buying boxes that last two days! Can't wait to try them out!

  3. Just made these yesterday. They turned out great despite the fact that I had to improvise on measurements since I only ended up having 2 cups of oatmeal! :) Clare thought she was getting a cookie for snack! :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
