Granola bars make a great snack at any time. You can wrap and freeze them separately for up to one month to pop into lunches in the morning.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup liquid honey
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups large-flake rolled oats
  • 1-1/2 cups hulled  unsalted sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup rice crisp cereal
  • 1 cup raisins or dried apricots, (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Preparation

Grease 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan or line with parchment paper; set aside.

In saucepan, bring corn syrup, honey and oil to boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly, about 1 minute.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, cereal, raisins and almonds. Pour syrup over top and stir to coat evenly. Pack into prepared pan, pressing firmly with back of spoon or greased spatula.

Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool on rack. Cut into bars.
