Quick and Easy Granola Bars

We recently whipped up a quick batch of granola bars that were super easy to make and quite yummy.  Here's what you need to make it:
4 cups of Oats
1 cup of Peanut Butter (I used our Homemade Peanut Butter)
1/2 cup of Craisins
1/4 cup of water

Simply mix everything together in a greased pan (I used an 11x7 pan).  You can use different ones depending on your desired thickness.  This is what it looks like before it is cooked.

Cook it at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes (depending on thickness of bars).  Here is what ours looks like when fully cooked.  The bars are not the easiest to cut into perfect rectangles, so I usually just break them into bite sized pieces.


You may find that these are not sweet enough for your taste if you are used to store bought granola bars, so here are somethings you may like to add into your granola before cooking:

• chocolate chips
• honey
• agave nectar
• peanut butter chips
• brown sugar
• brown rice syrup
• coconut
