I had to buy wheat germ for this but since it's healthy I knew it was worth it. Aside from that, I had most of the ingredients handy. So first thing, you have to mix the dry ingredients, toss in the wet ingredients like so:
And then - the fun part - you mix with your hands:
You get your fingers pretty sticky but that's the only way to mix. It starts to come together pretty well.
It forms a solid clump that when you drop it into the baking dish, but that can be easily resolved.
This is after pushing it down with a spatula for a minute or so.
You can bake it for anywhere from 25 minutes or and up. I like to keep it in for exactly 30 minutes. When the edges brown, it's done.
I like to cut it in pieces when it's still warm. In fact, that's the only time you can cut it.
Just a little warning, though. These are highly addictive.

Ok, I still have yet to try these. It will happen, I promise. :) Have a great day LB! :)
Ah, one of my favorites! I might have to make some of these today myself! Thanks for sharing!
We really liked these,a lot, but I found them to be almost too sweet. Have any of you guys tried changing them up? This had definitely been the BEST granola bar recipe I have ever tried. Yummy :)
Yeah, they are pushing it on the sweetness. I thought about reducing some of the honey and/or brown sugar to try and cut back on that.
As far as variations, I've thought about raisins (I think the original recipe calls for some actually) or M&Ms, although the raisins would be more healthy. I might try those two first to see how they work and then go from there.
I think I will try to cut the B.sugar to half, It kind of makes me leery to mess with it because the texture of them is so perfect. I guess if it doesn't hold together well I can always turn it into Granola :)
