Antioxident Granola Bars

"These granola bars are excellent for breakfast or an anytime snack. I love the cherries in these, but you could use any kind of dried fruit you want, mix up the seeds (I use all sunflower if that's all I have, I also like to add flax seeds if I have them), or even add chocolate chips. They are not too sweet and super additctive."

directions

  • Heat oven to 250 F and use a non-stick cooking spray to prepare an 9x13 or 8x10 pan. I prefer the 8x10 since it makes thicker bars, but use what you've got. Make sure to get the sides, too.
  • Heat the milk on the stove till warm.
  • Combine the oats, seeds, nuts, fruit and coconut in a large bowl.
  • Pour the milk over the oat mixture and use a spatula to mix it all together. It will be pretty thick.
  • Press the mixture into the pan and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes Slice into bars. I like to let the bars cool on wax paper. Make sure they are totally cooled before storing.
