Healthy Energy Bars
Photo courtesy of missmanda Yield 18 bars
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup either or a mixture of dried fruit, coconut, sliced almonds, semi-sweet chocolate chips (if you are using only mini chocolate chips use 1/2 to 3/4 cup, also you may want to reduce the brown sugar slightly)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup liquid honey
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS:———————————-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl combine the first 7 the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl,mix together remaining 4 wet ingredients.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well (I use my hands for mixing).
Using lightly greased hands pat the mixture into pan.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes if you want chewy granola bars (for a more crunchy bar bake another 5 minutes).
Cool in pan completely, then slice into bars (make certain to cool the bars before removing for the pan or they will fall apart).

This are the best tasting health bar I have ever tasted. Woweee…I”m so glad I decided to make these. I used a combination of mini-chips, raisins, and sliced toasted almonds to make up my one cup of dried fruits. I didn’t have any whole-wheat flour and so used white in place of. I can’t say enough about how fantastic these bars taste Carol. Thanks for this keeper!!!
I love these bars! They are an excellent substitute for store-bought cookies, granola bars, or any of those things. They are great with dried apricots, sunflower seeds, and mini chocolate chips. Yum!
