January 21. National Granola bar day.

A Granola bar is a breakfast and snack food that usually consists of nuts, honey, and rolled oats, that is usually pressed and baked until crisp, and then cut into bar shapes. Some add chocolate chips and dried fruit too.

I don't normally give out recipes of stuff that I sell.. but I guess this one's not in my usual menu so i'm going to share my easy and yummy granola bar recipe with you guys! I will be sharing some more easy recipes every now and then, so keep checking everyday for new stuff! :)

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
3/4 brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup canola oil
1 egg
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups trail mix, chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, or whatever you prefer in your bars

- pre heat your oven to 350F
- start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl
- combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl
- fold wet mixture into dry mixture
- mix in your chips, nuts, or dried fruits

-I used a little bit of everything. My mix had peanuts, raisins, almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, vanilla chips, and peanut butter chips.

-This is what it'll look like after mixing everything together.

- grease and flour your baking pan and spread and press your granola mixture in.
- bake for 15-20 mins or until brown on the edges.

- let it cool completely on a wire rack and then you can cut them into bars or whatever shape you desire.

Happy baking!
