How to Make Healthy Whole Grain Granola Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup Splenda until creamy.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 3 cups Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, 2 cups Kashi 7 Whole Grains Puff Cereal, 1 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 27-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before using the foil overhang to lift them out.
- Remove the foil and let the bars cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 24 bars.
