How to Make Low Fat Granola Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add 1/2 cup honey and stir until the mixture is evenly moist and crumbly. (If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until desired consistency is reached).
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup raisins (or your favorite dried fruit).
  6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. The edges will appear set and the center will be just slightly soft.
  8. Let the granola bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars. This will allow them to firm up. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
