Granola Bars
This version
is flavored with peanut butter. You can use other nuts and nut butters and
experiment with add-ins. This recipe makes about 24 bars.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups granola
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup raisins or chopped dried apricots
1 cup sunflower or sesame seeds
1/2 cup peanuts, broken or chopped
1 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs, beaten
4 tbsp. margarine
1. Butter a 9-inch-square baking pan. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl or brown
paper bag. Combine the honey and peanut butter in a large saucepan over medium
heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth and liquid. Add the beaten eggs
slowly (or they'll separate), stirring continuously until the mixture begins to
boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the margarine, then let cool to room
temperature.
2. Add the
granola mixture to the saucepan and stir to coat evenly. Spoon into your
prepared pan and smooth by using the back of a spoon or your hand. Refrigerate
covered for at least two hours before cutting into squares. Wrap these
individually in waxed paper, foil, or plastic wrap, and store in the
refrigerator.
