Almond granola bars

16 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Rolled oats
¼ cup Oat bran
¼ cup Finely chopped almonds
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil plus
1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
⅓ cup Honey
½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon Almond extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and add to dry mixture. Mix until all ingredients are moistened.

Press mixture into a rectangular shape 7 inches wide and nine inches long. (Wet hands or use one hand and a damp spoon.) Bake about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 16 bars using a sharp knife. Separate bars slightly and return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes more. The browner the bottom of the bars, the crisper they will be when cool.

The edges will crumble slightly when cut - set aside for a snack.

Remove to a wire rack to cool.
