Our New Favorite Snack...YUMMO!

CHEWY GRANOLA BARS

INGREDIENTS
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup raisins, apples, coconut etc. (optional)...but we love like broken Oreos,
peanuts, chocolate chips, you know, basic unhealthy cookie stuff. Only use the cinnamon if you're doing the raisins or apples
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract



DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake about 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
