Homemade Granola Bars

These are so good! I've made them twice now, and I really enjoy them when I feel munchy. My husband takes one to work everyday for his afternoon snack too. I make mine with chopped almonds and raisins.

Homemade Granola Bars
from Super Healthy Kids

2 Cup Oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 Cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 Cup honey
Any dried fruit, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc. (I use chopped almonds and raisins)

Mix all ingredients and press into greased pan, 11 X 13 if you like them thin and crunchy or a 9x13 if you want them thicker and softer.. Dough will be very dry and crumbly, but press until dough forms with pan.. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until edges are browned. (Watch carefully if they overcook they will be super crunchy.) Take out and let cool entirely. Cut into strips and store in snack size bags.
