I apologize for a repeat this week (originally posted November 08). Too much drama with sick kids, unconscious kids, lost kids in the Superstition Mountains (I didn’t tell you about that one!) took too much time away from cooking.
This is by far our family’s favorite granola bar recipe. You can add your own extras like mini M&Ms or raisins or flax seeds or mini chocolate chips or pumpkin seeds or other dried fruit or, well you get the idea.
