What You Will Need
No special items needed.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl combine the first 7 the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a small bowl,mix together remaining 4 wet ingredients.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well (I use my hands for mixing).
Step 5
Using lightly greased hands pat the mixture into pan.
Step 6
Bake for about 15-20 minutes if you want chewy granola bars (for a more crunchy bar bake another 5 minutes).
Step 7
Cool in pan completely, then slice into bars (make certain to cool the bars before removing for the pan or they will fall apart).
