I had a day of cooking and prepping my menu for the week ahead. I cannot get over how delicious and easy these granola bars are, and my kids beg for them!! Just beware that you may eat about half of them in the first day, they are that addicting!!!!Want the recipe?!?!? Here ya go :)
Adapted and adjusted from a recipe found online somewhere...
2 1/2cups Rice Krispies
2 cup Oatmeal
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries (or any other dried fruit, I use whatever I have on hand...)
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup honey
2/3 cup peanut butter
tsp vanilla
2 tbsp wheat germ (optional)
Heat brown sugar and honey until boiling mix in peanut butter and vanilla, stir til smooth.
In a larger bowl mix all dry ingredients, then add brownsugar/pb mixture and stir stir stir. Grease a 9x13 pan and press into pan. (I have found pressing with your hand or back of a plastic spoon works best). Chill in fridge for about an hour until firm. Cut into squares. Try not to eat them all in one sitting!!!
I have also found that storing this in an airtight container at room temperature is the best way to keep them. They will be fresh for over a week if they last that long!
I also whipped up some spinach macaroni "muffins" to freeze for kids lunches and and easy side dish for dinner. These are pretty delicious too!
