Healthier Granola Bars

Created by KittenCal on November 2, 2011

2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup either/or a mixture of dried fruit, coconut, sliced almonds, semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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).
