Soft Granola Bars
1 C firmly packed brown sugar 1 C Flaked coconut 2 eggs 2 C uncooked oatmeal 1 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour 1 t baking soda 1 C chocolate chips (or carob chips) 1 C raisins 1 C crushed peanuts 1 1/2 t cinnamon A dash of ground cloves 1/4 t salt
In large mixing bowl combine brown sugar, coconut and eggs, blending with a wooden spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients and thoroughly combine.
Spread mixture in jelly roll pan that has been greased. I make sure I press it in firmly and even use my pizza roller to insure that its pretty solid so my granola bars won't fall apart. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes, until center is set. Drizzle with honey glaze and let cool slightly then cut into 3 x 1 inch bars. If you wait to long they are hard to cut.
Honey glaze: 1/4 C honey 2 T butter
Heat honey and butter in a 1 quart saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted, stir well, then drizzle over cooked granola bars.
