Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dried pitted dates
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup non-fat dry milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place oats, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, flour, dried fruit, almonds, dry milk, and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse until everything is roughly chopped.
- Add maple syrup and eggs and pulse until everything is well blended.
- Spread the thick batter evenly into the prepared pan. If you find the batter sticky you can press it into the pan with your slightly wet hands.
- Bake until lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack on for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cut bars into 20 bars.
- Once they are completely cool, you can store these fruity, nutty, chewy, healthy granola bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Or wrap them individually and store them in the freezer for a quick grab and go breakfast or snack.
