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! Read more :) See less
Ingredients
- GRAINS: shopping list

How to make it
- 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!
