Homemade Granola Bars



Someone call Martha Stewart - I gave her a run for her money today.  We got pumpkins, decorated for Halloween, made bookmarks with Henry, went to the park, and I made homemade sloppy Joe's, apple crisp, and homemade granola bars.  This fabulous granola bar recipe is courtesy of my sweet friend Briana.

Dry Ingredients
3 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup bran buds
5 cups dried fruit and chopped nuts, unsweetened flaked coconut (I used coconut, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and blueberries, and mini chocolate chips.)
1 cup whole wheat or all purpose flour


Wet Ingredients
14oz can sweetended condensed milk
2 large eggs or 1/4 cup egg beaters
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup apricot sauce (or preserves)
1 tbsp canola oil

Mix wet and dry ingredients together very well, this will be a dry mix. Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, cut and separate, then cool completely and wrap individually.



YUM, YUM, YUM!
