Store-bought granola bars sound healthy but at times they are no better than a chocolate bar. Why not make your own? They are great to add to your child's lunch or for after school snacks.
Ingredients
- 3-1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup corn syrup
- 1/3 cup liquid honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries or dried cherries
- 3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut, (optional)
Preparation
Line 9-inch (2.5 L) square cake pan with foil, leaving 1-inch (2.5 cm) overhang for handles; grease. Set aside.
In bowl, combine oats, sugar, butter, syrup, honey, vanilla and salt. Stir in cranberries, apricots, and coconut (if using).
Press into prepared pan. Bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool completely in pan on rack. Using foil handles, lift out of pan. Peel off foil. Cut into bars. Makes 15 bars.
