i did it! i created the perfect, yummie, healthy and wonderful-good home made granola bar! i hesitate to share the recipe, because i know chris reads the blog. once he knows whats in it, he won't eat it. he thinks anything healthy is gross.
so here it is!
2 cups of oats (i used 2 1/2)
1/2 cup of brown sugar ( i used 1/4)
1/4 of wheat germ
1/4 cup flax
1 tsp of cinnamon (next time i will use 2 and add some nutmeg)
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of raisins
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup of honey
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup of oil (i used 1/4 and added 1/2 cup of sugar free apple sauce)
2 tsp vanilla
* i also tossed in with out measuring
-cranberries
sesame seeds
poppy seeds
cut up dates
almonds
mix until nice and sticky
bake at 350 for 1/2 hr or so. this is where it gets fun. if you want the bars chewy, bake for 25ish mins. if you want a crunchy bar bake for 40ish mins
seriously. they are so good. there is no need to add choc chips, the fruit makes it sweet. i plan on adding bran flakes, apricots, strawberries, peanuts, walnuts etc... next time.
on a me note. i had a big piece of the above bar before my walk last night and i beat my record. i walked 10 kms in 1hr 15 mins. i give credit to the granola bar.
off to have yet another piece!
