Feb. 8, 2007 - Granola Bar Recipe
These were great and my littles loved them so I thought I'd share.
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. quinoa flakes
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. finely chopped almonds (I threw raw almonds in the food processor)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp. olive oil
1/3 c. honey
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix until moistened, adding up to a teaspoon of water if needed. Place on a lightly oiled sheet and press into a rectangle. Wet hands lightly while working. Bake 12 minutes then remove and cut into 16 bars, separating bars slightly. Return to oven for 5 - 10 more minutes until set. Remove and cool on wire rack.
You can add seeds, nuts or whatever if you want. I added carob chips which was really yummy.
