Adapted a recipe from www.joyfulabode.com. No high fructose corn syrup granola bars! Can add any kind of dried fruit, but my go-to is raisins. A very hearty granola bar recipe!

Ingredients

20 mins
  1. Grains
  2. 2 cupoats
  3. 3/4 cupwheat germ

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F

  2. 2

    Crush peanuts

  3. 3

    Mix peanuts, oats, wheat germ, and sunflower seeds in a baking dish with sides

  4. 4

    Toast in oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Put brown sugar, honey, vanilla, and salt, into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.

  6. 6

    Add grains, glue, and dried fruit to a large bowl. Mix well!

  7. 7

    Dump mixture into an 11x13 casserole dish (or similar) that has been pre-lined with parchment paper.

  8. 8

    Spread mixture evenly and cover with another sheet of parchment paper.

  9. 9

    Press down super hard! It helps to place a heavy weight on the paper such as a stack of books to compress the mixture real well, else they'll fall apart.

    After 2-3 hours or until granola has completely cooled, remove granola by peeling back paper on a cutting board.

  11. 11

    Cut by pressing down with a knife into appropriate sized bars.

    Wrap in plastic wrap, vacuum seal, or in a container with parchment paper for storage and easy eating!
