Chewy Granola Bars

Ingredients:-

• 2 ¼ cups quick oats
• ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour*
• ¼ cup wheat germs
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup butter, melted
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup nuts
• ¼ cup cranberries
• 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 1 tbsp flaxseed meal, optional

Method:-

1. Heat oven to 325F. Grease a 9 x 9 inch pan. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Press firmly into pan. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
2. I prefer to use rye or whole wheat pastry flour. All purpose flour will do.
3. Granola bars are great for breakfast and snack. These bars are low‐fat and loaded with fiber.
