List of Ingredients




1 cup honey
2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
2 2/3 cups rolled oats (the old fashioned kind work the best)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup wheat germ
2 cups of mix-ins in any combination of the following:
coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter
chips,
unsalted peanuts (pref. NOT dry-roasted), miniature M&Ms, any finely
chopped fruit such as dates, apricots, apples, etc.


Recipe



Mix honey and peanut butter until well blended. It might help to warm
the honey in the microwave about 20 seconds on High so that it is not so
stiff. Stir in oats, flour, wheat germ and mix-ins. If mixture seems
too dry, add water 1 Tbsp at a time. If it is too sticky, add oats 1 Tbsp
at a time. Mixture should not be so sticky that you can't spread it
easily in a pan with greased fingers. Press into a 9x13 pan lightly
greased. Bake at 350 until barely browned. Cut while warm into desired size
bars. When completely cool, remove from pan with a greased spatula.
Allow to cool until they can be picked up easily without falling apart.
Wrap
each bar in a small sandwich bag or plastic wrap and store in a zip loc
bag. These freeze well. You can adapt the mix-ins (chips, fruit, nuts)
according to what your family likes.
