Granola Bars

I put mini chocolate chips in these, but feel free to substitute raisins or other dried fruit.  You could even add nuts.

These are pretty sweet.  Next time, I might cut the brown sugar in half.

Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup honey
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan.

Mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, chocolate chips and salt.

Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla.  Mix well.

Using your hands, pat the mixture evenly into the pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges get golden brown.

Cool for a few minutes, then cut into bars or squares.  Don't let them cool completely, or they'll be too hard to cut.
