Granola Bars

I got this recipe from my friend Ruby years ago.  These are a little more like a crunchy cookie than a chewy granola bar but definitely healthier for you than the average cookie.  My boys love these and have been asking for them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Granola Bars

Cream for 2 minutes:

1 cup brown sugar (I substituted coconut sugar.)
1/2 cup butter (Could also substitute coconut oil here.)

Add and mix:

2 T honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Add and then mix quickly:

1 1/3 cup wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup coconut

Fold in by hand:

1/2 cup craisins or raisins
1/2 cup sliced almond (With nut allergies here, these have to be omitted.)
1 1/2 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Press mixture into greased cookie sheet.  (Large jelly roll pan works great.) Bake at 350 for about 20-22 minutes. Cool and then cut into strips.
