Chewy Granola Bars




3 cups old fashion oats
2 tbls brown sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup honey
¼ cup peanut or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½- 2 cups seeds nuts, dried fruit etc

2 tbls corn syrup


1. In a large bowl, stir together old-fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In another bowl, stir together honey, oil, vanilla. Dump this over the oat mixture and add 1 1/2-2 cups nuts, seeds, dried fruit, combine thoroughly. Get your hands in it to mix everything well, and to coat the oats evenly with the honey mixture. Heat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet and place on the center rack of the heated oven. Bake, stirring after 5-10 minutes, until the granola is a very light golden brown. If you like your granola crunchier with a toastier flavor, bake it a little longer, keeping a close eye on it—if it gets dark it will taste burnt.

4. Add corn syrup, mix well press into 9/11" pyrex dish and bake an additional 10 minutes. Cool the granola completely, cut into bars, store in airtight container.
