Granola Bars

These were supper easy and yummy plus a good source of fiber and whole grain.
Here is what you need:

6 cups of rolled oats not quick oats.
4 Tablespoons of melted butter
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of dark brown sugar
1/2 cup of honey
1/4 cup of apple juice
1/4 cup of molasses
3 tablespoons of vanilla
1 1/2 cup of Rice Krispies
1 cup of wheat germ
3/4 cup of chopped peanuts

 Mix oats, salt, oil, and melted butter together

 Toast on a sheet pan in a 350 oven for about 20 min until golden brown.  Stir every 5 min so they toast evenly.

 In a sauce pan over medium heat stir together sugar, molasses, honey, apple juice

 Stir together rice krispies and peanuts and add to the oats

 

 Add is molasses and sugar mixture

 Thoroughly mix

 
Line a sheet pan and spray with cooling spray so it won't stick and you don't have to clean it.

 Spread out oat mixture on a sheet pan and cook for 20 min at 325 until golden

 Let cool

Chop into bars.  They were kind crumbly this time so you might want a little more glue but as a bonus I got some granola to go with yogurt form all the crumbs.

 Melt some chocolate chips over a double boiler until smooth

 Dip in part in chocolate and let cool
