Mix the first 5 ingredients together until well blended. Add the remaining ingredients. Press firmly into 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Bake for the least amount of time possible, since the longer they bake, the drier they tend to become.

Your kids will think they are eating cookies these are so good, but look at the great nutrition they will be getting! Enjoy!
In a bowl combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, honey, hot water, and vanilla. Combine well. Then add the flour, wheat germ (or bran), sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, raisins, and coconut. Press in greased 13x9 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut while warm. Makes 24 bars.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, bring sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter until combined.
Add the raisins, cherries, sunflower kernels, and toasted oats, almonds and coconut; mix well. Using a metal spatula, press mixture into an ungreased 15x10 inch baking pan. Cool to room temperature. Cut into bars.

Does anyone know how to make a homemade granola bar? The bar I buy at the store has almonds, sunflower seeds, cranberries and whatever. Any ideas? I take these to work; don't want a jar of loose ones.

By Sherrie10/22/2007Here's the basic recipe I use for my homemade granola bars. Depending on my mood or what my kid's like the particular week I'm making up the recipe I'll toss in some coconut, nuts, seeds etc. This recipe is really flexible.

3/4 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. corn syrup
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 c. quick oatmeal
