Introduction
I've adapted several recipes into this one favorite. I've used agave nectar instead of honey, and a variety of other dried fruits in place of the Craisins. These are filling, go-to-in-a-hurry bars.

Ingredients
-
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tsp. vanilla extract (or other flavors you like)
3 cups whole grain oatmeal or old fashioned oats
1/2 cup flaked coconut, unsweetened
1/2 cup dried fruit (Craisins or dried, diced dates are great)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (raw)
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup amaranth seeds
1 cup coarsely chopped almonds (I toast them first)
Tips
If the mixture is too dry for your taste, my dad adds a ripe banana to his. I've also tried adding a little applesauce.
You can make it easier to remove the bars by inserting a turner-type spatula down between the bars and the pan prior to baking and gently pressing towards the bars.
You can cut the bars after they've cooled about 5 minutes, but let them cool completely and set before you try taking them out.
Store in an airtight container.
For those on the go: I wrap these individually so that I can grab one as I dash out of the house in the morning.
Directions
Press mixture into a liberally greased 13x9-inch pan. Bake at 350-degrees for 25-30 minutes.
