Granola Bars (or Breakfast Bars)
This is my best attempt at Homemade Granola Bars and we've liked them so far.
Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
4 c. dry oats (old-fashioned or quick cooking) (.25)
1 1/2 c. flour (.25)
1 c. brown sugar (.25) with other sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. cinnamon (.01)
1/2 t. salt (.01)
3/4 – 1 c. canola oil (or part to all applesauce) - (.25) used mostly applesauce and that was canned at home and free
4 eggs (.40)
1 1/2 c. raisins (.35)
Dump all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir, by hand, just until completely moistened and combined. 3. Press into a greased 13×9 casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into individual bars.
Serves: 15-20 ($1.80 total)
A few notes about this recipe:
~ If your family isn’t too keen or raisins, you can substitute with other dried fruit. Or, chocolate chips or other fun insides might work as well.
~ These bars freeze beautifully. Wrap the cooled and cut bars individually and then freeze. They can be thawed in about 2 hours, or if you’re in a hurry, cook in the microwave on the defrost cycle for about 20-30 seconds, depending on the size of your bars.

Homemade Granola
10-13 cups rolled oats (.75)
1 cup wheat germ (optional - I also cracked wheat) (.50)
1/2 lb. shredded coconut (.50)
Up to 3 cups seeds (sunflower, sesame, chopped nuts) (.50-3.00)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (or sugar and some molasses) (.25)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup honey (optional) (.50)
1/2 cup molasses (.25)
1 1/2 tsp salt (.01)
2 tsp cinnamon (.02)
3 tsp vanilla (.05)
Raisins or other dried fruit (.50)
Combine oats, coconut, nuts, seeds. Mix well. In saucepan, add remaining dry ingredients. Heat until sugar is dissolved, but do not boil. Pour over dry ingredients. Stir until well coated. Bake at 300 degrees F for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally
*Can also add applesauce in place of honey for an apple cinnamon taste or just dried apples, we also like craisins, raisins or without dried fruit. I am fairly liberal with following this recipe and have tried several variations as you can see from the "up to 3 cups" or 10-13 cups oats - that's a large difference, but I've tried it all because I have about 4 different recipes I've tried and they all work out about the same.
*Storage: 2 large gallon size bags. Yummy for breakfasts or for snacks.
Total Cost: $3.10 - $6.10.
Makes 1 1/2 - 2 gallon bags. Lasts 2-3 months in our house.
