Best Granola Bars Ever Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Ninjamama / All my dishes 7 months ago I was trying to come up with a healthy, but tasty snack to take with me- as I am a mom on the go! I try to avoid food with high fructose corn syrup, and its in so many snacks these days. This is a great way to hide healthy grains in a delicious treat! :) ...

Ingredients

GRAINS:

1 cup rice puffs

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup rolled wheat

1/2 chopped almonds

1/2 sunflower seeds

1/2 cup flax seeds

1/2 cup dried cranberries

GLAZE:

2/3 cup light brown sugar

1/3 cup + 1 TBS honey

1/4 cup butter (half a stick)

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

toast any raw grains in the oven for about 5 min. at 400 degrees, mixing half-way thru

line 13x9 inch pan with foil to spread granola in

mix all dry ingredients in very large bowl, or stock pot (I like to use my 8 qt. pot)

heat all glaze ingredients in heavy sauce pan on stove top at medium heat

bring to boil, reduce heat stirring constantly, simmer 2 minutes

pour glaze over dry ingredients, mix well

spread in foil lined pan, smooth flat with back of spoon

smooth a LOT, as you want the grains to be packed together so the bars don't fall apart!

let sit for 2 hours

remove granola in foil and place on counter, using a large knife, cut into bars

I like to individually wrap the bars in sandwich bags, because i found out the hard way, that they stick together!

I made them tonight and I LOVE them!!! Thank you...they are sooo good and I am so psyched that they are so natural and full of fiber and whole grains! I didn't have any rolled wheat, so I substituted part Grape-nuts and part oat bran. It worked out well! Keep the good recipes coming!!
