Granola Bars

Yesterday I made sometime I never made before, granola bars.  They were SO good and VERY easy to make.

Ingredients
  • 1/2c soft butter
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1-1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup nuts
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cup rice krispies
Mix everything together.  Spray a 9x13 pan lightly and put all ingredients into it.  Bake at 350 degrees until light brown, about 20 minutes.  Let cool before cutting. 

I used corn syrup instead of honey, since my mother-in-law is allergic to it and she gave me the recipe so I wanted her to be able to try it.  For the nuts I used unsalted peanuts.

I'll have to try this. That would be something Brian could take in the truck.
