I am finishing up the Invent a Snack challenge this week. My kids absolutely love these granola bars, and they are really good for them! You might want to make a double batch though because if your family is anything like mine, they will disappear quickly.
Basic Granola Bar recipe
1 cup honey
½ cup butter
½ cup coconut oil soft or melted
2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp. salt
4 cups oatmeal
¼ cup oatmeal flour (Just put oatmeal into a food processor/blender and let to go until it becomes the consistency of flour. This can easily be substituted for flour.)
¾ cup whole wheat flour
Butter a 9×13 pan. Mix honey, butter, coconut oil in mixer. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Stir in whichever additional ingredients you wish in your granola bars. Bake at 325 for about 15 minutes (17 minutes in my oven is perfect.) I let them cool for a while on the counter as long as my begging children will allow, and then cut them in the shape of granola bars or squares if I am in a hurry. (-:
