Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Prepare muffin pan with paper liners.

On a sheet pan, spread the oatmeal and nuts and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Stir a few times while cooking and remove from oven when lightly browned. Reduce the oven temp to 300 degrees.

Pour warm oats into a large bowl and stir in wheat germ, honey, vanilla, salt, brown sugar, vegetable oil and cinnamon. Combine very well. Check to make sure the mixture has cooled down and add egg. Mix to distribute evenly and add dried fruit. Spoon the mixture into prepared muffin pan. Using a second muffin pan, press the granola down very firmly! It’s important that the mixture is as packed down as possible.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until light golden brown. Cool completely before carefully removing liners. Makes 12 round granola bars.
