Granola bars (Christy Evans)

- Jenn Iverson

1 cup granola

1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

1 cup chopped nuts (I used ½ cup sliced almonds, ½ cup pumpkin seeds)

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup raisins, craisins, or dried fruit (I used craisins)

1 beaten egg

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup cooking oil

¼ cup packed brown sugar

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Line an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with foil. Grease the foil; set pan aside. In a large mixing bowl combine granola, oats, nuts, flour, and raisins. Stir in egg, honey, oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Press evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake in a 325º oven for 30 to 35 minutes or till lightly browned around the edges. Cool on a wire rack. Use foil to remove from pan. Cut into bars. Makes 24 bars.
