Playgroup Granola Bars

2 c oats
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c wheat germ
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 c flour
3/4 c raisins
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c honey
1 egg
1/2 c oil
2 tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients; make a well in the center and add wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly (this is best done with your hands). Press into a greased 9"x13" pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until edges are browned and starting to pull away from sides of pan. Cut before bars cool completely or they'll be too hard.

NOTES
From allrecipes.com
Family favorite.
Easily adaptable: I usually cut back on sugar/honey, use wheat flour, add flax seeds. Sometimes I sub almond extract for some of the vanilla. I often sub dried cranberries for the raisins and applesauce for the oil. I also like to add chocolate chips and peanuts.
