I don't consider myself some kind of crazed health freak. However I just don't see the point of feeding my child unnecessary high fuctose corn syrup, preservatives, and high sodium snacks. Jack is not a picky eater in the least so we eat lots of fruits and veggies, but you have to have a snack every once in awhile right? I have been trying new recipes and this is what I baked today. Homemade granola bars and graham crackers!
Jack loved them :)
Here is the recipe for granola bars (thanks Liz!) and you can go here to see the recipe for the graham crackers. GRANOLA BARS
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup wheat germ
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup wheat flour
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
Combine oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins, and salt in medium bowl. Make a well in center. In small glass measuring cup, combine remaining ingredients. Blend well. Pour into dry mixture; mix well. Consistency will be crumbly. Press in greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until edges are just browning. Do not over bake. Allow to cool 10 minutes, then cut into 18 bars. Do not all to cool completely or bars will be extremely difficult to cut. However after you cut them you can let them harden in the baking dish. Store in sealed container. You can also freeze them for later :)

Very cool! Way to go! I tried granola bars a few months ago but they didn't turn out at all! We'll have to give this recipe a try!
