Remember those yummy granola bars I mentioned in THIS post a few days ago?  Well, here is the recipe I promised!  They are SO good!

Recipe: Granola Bars  

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups oats
• 4 cups crisp rice cereal
• 2 cups chopped nuts or sunflower seeds (I don’t like the taste of these in there, so I left them out)
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips

Assembly Directions:

In a large mixer bowl, combine oil, brown sugar, honey or corn syrup, vanilla and egg.  Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.  Mix well.  With a large spoon, stir in oats, cereal, and nuts, fruits, or baking chips.  Spray one 9×13 pan (I used two pans for this recipe).  Press the mixture evenly into bottom of pan.  For chewy bars, bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned on the edges.  For crunchy bars, bake at 300 degrees until the surface is golden brown all over, about 40-50 minutes.  Cool completely and cut into 16 bars by slicing through the middle lengthwise, then crosswise 7 times.

Makes 32 bars.

Enjoy!
