Number of Servings: 14

Ingredients

    2 cups rolled oats
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup wheat germ
    3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup honey
    1 egg, beaten
    1/2 cup oil (veggie or canola)
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins (or other dried fruit) and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well with wooden spoon or your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden brown at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes then cut into bars while still warm. DO NOT ALLOW THE BARS TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CUTTING or they will be too hard to cut.

Makes 14 - 2 inch by 4 inch pieces.
