of store brands have additives and preservatives.

Ingredients
1/2 cup soft butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cup quick oatmeal
1 cup chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan. Beat
butter, sugar, and syrup until light and fluffy. Blend in egg
and vanilla. Add and mix oats and chips. Press firmly into
pan. Bake 20 to 23 minutes. Cool a couple hours. Cut.
Alternative - This recipe calls for already made Granola.
Ingredients
3 cups of homemade granola
3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 medium eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional: 1/2 cup raisins, or peanuts, or chocolate
chips, or coconut, or sunflower seeds, or chopped
apricots, or dates, or whatever strikes your fancy
In a 2 quart sized saucepan melt the margarine and peanut
butter together. Make sure the heat is low and stir it a lot to
melt it evenly. Meanwhile crack both eggs into a cereal bowl
and beat them up with a fork. When the margarine and
peanut butter are completely melted together remove the
pan from the heat. Whisk in the eggs. You have to do this
quickly so the eggs won't cook into scrambled eggs and
peanut butter mess. The mixture will thicken and emulsify
making a nice dough like texture. Beat in the vanilla. Stir in
the prepared homemade granola. Add any optional
ingredients to suit your taste. Turn the mixture into an oiled
8-inch square pan. Chill the bars in the fridge until hard. Cut
into 16 squares. Serve with milk for a good snack, or pack in
lunch boxes as a (relatively) healthy treat.
