Granola Bars
Great recipe for a healthy snack. They are best kept in the freezer and are soft right out of the freezer. You can add whatever add ins your family likes the best. This recipe is gigantic, so I would suggest cutting it in half and even that is a big batch! I split my dough in half and did one half with mini chocolate chips & almonds and the other half with craisins, raisins, and almonds. They are pretty low in sugar & therefore not too sweet....the banana or applesauce add to the flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
6 eggs
2 cups canola oil
3 tsp. vanilla
2 mashed bananas or 1 cup applesauce (whichever you prefer)
4 1/2 cups wheat flour
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp baking soda
9 cups oats
raisins, craisins, nuts, mini chocolate chips.... whatever add in you want
Mix wet ingredients then add dry ingredients. Spray 2 cookie sheets with Pam spray. Spread dough & press evenly on the cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
