Granola Bars

Granola Bars

3 ½ cups oats, toasted (not instant oats)

1 cup nuts

1 cup raisins

2/3 cup melted butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup honey

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon vanilla

Toast oats in the oven on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients together, including toasted oats in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.  Press into a well greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Cool and then cut into bars.  Don’t cut while they are warm or they will fall apart.

I sometimes add a ½ cup of coconut or chocolate chips.
