Easy Homemade Granola Bars

This is the granola bar recipe I make my family.  They make nice, sturdy bars that travel well in lunch boxes and toddler hands. . . and they taste good.

Easy Granola Bars

2 cups oatmeal
1 cup white or whole wheat flour
3/4 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ (if you don't have any just add extra oatmeal or flour)
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 to 1 cup dried fruit (my kids like dried cherries the best in this)
1/2 tsp salt

Mix dry ingredients together.  Then add:

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup oil
1 egg

Mix it all together and spread it into a 9 x 13 greased pan.  Pat it all down firmly.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  Then you get this deliciousness.
