Simple Granola Bars


Here is a recipe that I have been using for a while to make my own granola bars.  Got this recipe from allrecipes.com, then made my own modifications:

-  2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup wheat bran cereal
-  1 cup all purpose flour
-  1/4 teaspoon salt
-  3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-  2/4 cups dried fruit (ie. raisins, cranberries, etc.)
-  3/4 cup light brown sugar
-  1/2 cup honey
-  1/2 cup vegetable oil
-  1 egg (lightly beaten)
-  1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Mix all dry ingredients (rolled oats, wheat bran cereal, flour, salt, cinnamon, salt, light brown sugar, dried fruit) in a medium to large size bowl.  Add remaining ingredients (honey, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla) and mix.  Place in a 9 x 13 non-stick pan and spread the mixture to cover the entire space.  Cook in your preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Once done, cut immediately, before the granola bars cool.  Let cool in the pan, remove, and store.  Serve when ready.

My kids love these and I send them to school with a granola bar everyday.  Healthy and inexpensive to make.
