By Diana Rattray, About.com

Use your favorite dried fruits and nuts, or use carob chips in this recipe for granola bars.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
  • 1/3 cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup carob chips or raisins, or other nuts or dried fruits

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Add the fruits and nuts or other ingredients you like, as long as the mixture is sticking together in large clumps. With fingers, press the mixture into the baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely and cut into bars.
