Go-to Granola Bars image

Since so many elementary schools are nut free zones, I like making these for my kids to take as wholesome snacks since taking a store bought granola bar would be considered unsafe for those around them with nut allergies. We all LOVE this recipe! Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 40 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups oatmeal
2 cups flour
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup honey (OR 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup molasses , OR 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup corn syrup depending on your taste)
raisins, chocolate chips, Craisins (or whatever you prefer to add)

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients together well.
  • Add oil and honey.
  • Mix well. Get your fingers in there and mix it until all is blended and sticky feeling. If you don't, they will turn out crumbly.
  • Add raisins and whatever else you enjoy.
  • Firmly press into jelly roll pan (12 x 15 inch).
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 375°F They will look puffy and soft when you take them out.
  • Don't wait until they are brown or they will be very hard.
  • Cut into squares while still warm. (I find a pizza cutter works well.).
