First you mix all the dry ingredients, oats, wheat germ, flour, brown sugar, and salt
Then you create a well in the center and put in your wet ingredients, oil, honey, egg, and vanilla. I also added some raisins and chocolate chips.
And mix, mix, mix...you will get quite the arm workout doing this! After it is all mixed, pat it into a 9x13 pan that you grease really good.
Bake for 20 mins or so and that's it! Take out of the oven and cool for a bit, when it is still warm you want to cut it into bars.
They are actually quite tasty, hopefully the boys will enjoy them. Molly decided that she wanted to bake with mama.
Seeing as dogs can not have raisins or chocolate maybe I will have to look at making her some dog treats. She spent a good part of the evening running around the island in the kitchen because she thought I wanted to take her stuffed elephant from her. Silly girl!
Here is the granola recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
I may have to make another batch using almonds and cranberries...
