Homemade Granola Bars

I am totally stealing this from my friend Jen...
OK, but I tweeked it when I made it.


2 Cup Oats
1 cup brown sugar (Jen uses raw turbinado) I used Splenda Brown Sugar 1/2 Cup
1 Cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 Cup honey
Any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc.
Mix all ingredients and press into greased pan, 11 X 13. Dough will be very dry and crumbly, but press until dough forms with pan.. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until edges are browned. Take out and let cool entirely.


I made them today and I have to tell ya...
They are to die for! My mom isn't big on chocolate chips, but she really like these. Then I took some to my neighbor and she thoroughly enjoyed them!
This is a keeper and my Recipe Spotlight for the week!
