Here’s one more for the recipe box. Lately, I have been making these homemade granola bars for my kids (and myself). They are very good and are not full of junk like some store-bought brands are.
I also like the fact that they are high in fiber and I control the sugar content.
Here is the recipe I use, but I encourage you to try other ideas.
Granola Bars
1/2 to 1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups oats
1 1/4 cups oat bran
1 1/4 cups wheat bran
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but so yummy)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease a 9×13 pan (or thereabouts). In a large bowl, mix together the first 5 ingredients. Stir in the rest. Press mixture evenly and well into the pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, until light brown. Once fully cooled, cut into 24 bars. Enjoy!
