Recipe #2 Granola Bars

These are way cheaper and you can make them much healthier than their store-bought counter parts.  Having said that, they have their fair share of oil and honey in them, so they are NOT low calorie.  But I don't advocate low calorie stuff too much, especially if you want to feed these to your kids (they are so good, your kids will be lucky if they get one).
HERE is the link to Allrecipes where I first saw the recipe.  I give you the link for many reasons 1) to give the original contributor credit
2) you can print off the recipe nicely from their website and
3) you can read the top review by Ella who makes many of the changes I make to this bar.
I use whole wheat flour, I cut the brown sugar to 1/3 cup (down from 3/4!), I add flax seeds whole or meal and I add peanut butter to this bar. I also add whatever nuts and dried fruits and/or chocolate chips or other fun items I have.  I love peanut butter and chocolate chip combo, who doesn't?  But the cinnamon is the kicker in these little guys- even when I make PB and C version, I keep the cinnamon.  You won't want to cut the honey because it would affect the consistency of the bar too much, but cutting the brown sugar is easily done without losing the texture.  I often double the recipe and bake in a jelly roll pan, but the consistency is best if baked in a 9 x 13 or two 9 x 13 pans.  Follow instructions, don't over bake and make sure the cut the bars 5 minutes after taking from oven.  Enjoy!
