I created this recipe by combining my favorite granola bar recipe with one for lactation cookies while I was breastfeeding. The result were delicious, healthy, nut-free, chewy goodness!

Time 25m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups oatmeal (not instant)
2 cups flour
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chocolate chips
3 tablespoons flax seeds
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1/8 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix oatmeal, flour, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, flax seeds, wheat germ, sugar, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
  • Add the vegetable oil and honey.
  • Mix well until sticky. It is best to use your hands to make sure everything is turned together.
  • Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper.
  • Press mixture firmly into pan.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes. Granola bars will look soft when you take them out of the oven, but if you leave them in until they are brown they will be overcooked.
  • Cut into bars while still warm.
