Recipes

Someone asked for the granola recipe. I guess that would be helpful if you wanted to make them yourselves.

Granola Bars
2 1/2 cups oats
1/2 cup wheat germ (or other grain/flour)
2 cups filler, this can be a mix of nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, be creative!

On a cookie sheet spread out the oats, wheat germ or other grain, and nuts. Place in oven under boiler and lightly toast. Keep a close eye because it can burn quickly. Combine with other filler in a large bowl. Note: if you use chocolate chips or the sort, they'll probably start to melt a bit, that's okay.

In a small saucepan combine 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 cup honey. Keep on medium heat until it comes to a full boil. Let it boil 45-60 seconds until it just starts to thicken. Pour over grain/fruit/oat mix and stir until all is coated.

Line a 9x13 pan with wax paper and then spray the paper with nonstick spray. Pour the mixture onto wax paper. Spread the mixture to the edges and then use a cup of sorts to press the mixture down, making it more dense. Let it cool. Cut the bars into desired sizes and individually wrap in plastic wrap. Enjoy!
