granola bar

Ingredients:

4 cups oats, uncooked
1 cup any chopped nuts (I used 1/3 cup chopped pecans, and 1/3 cup walnuts.)
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup light corn syrup (can be substitute with honey or maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
cooking oil spray

method:
1-Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix well. Press into a 15 1/4-inch by 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. (Mixture will be brown and bubbly.

2-cooked granola bars 10 minutes in this demonstration, but they were a little over-brown; 8 minutes would have been better.) Cool.

3-Cut into bars and serve on a serving plate or store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. They stay fresh for a very long time! These granola bars contain *only* healthy ingredients and are a great choice over a candy bar, which generally has no nutritional value! They taste great, also!
