| I am playing around with the sweetness. It originally called for 1/2 cup honey & 1 cup sugar, but that is way too sweet. Last time I did only the 1/2 cup honey, I think, but I'd like to try with some sugar since it's cheaper. 6/9/11 -- I made this and the sweetness seems perfect. INGREDIENTS: | |
| 2 cups | rolled oats |
| 1/3 cup | sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | ground cinnamon |
| 1 ½ cups | whole wheat flour |
| 3/4 cup | sunflower seeds |
| 1 cup | raisins |
| 3/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 | egg, beaten |
| 1/2 cup | canola oil |
| 1/4 cup | honey |
| 2 teaspoons | vanilla extract |
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, cinnamon, flour, raisins sunflower seeds and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients., then mix them into the dry. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 18+ minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.

To make them chewy still use a 9x13 pan but don't spread the mixture into the entire pan- leave about an inch and a half empty space on one end. (The batter will cook exactly as it sits so you don't have to worry about it spreading. Also, you must be careful not to overcook these. Thirty minutes is way too long, but since every oven is different I can only really tell you that you need to take them out right when you see the edges becoming brown (the middle may still appear undone.) For me that is 18 minutes. If you do that they will stay chewy forever--just store them in a ziploc bag. And my last bit of advice is that you can get really creative with this recipe. For example, instead of raisins add dried cranberries and slivered almonds. Or up the cinnamon and add chopped dried apples. Or you could add peanut butter and freeze dried banana bits (like you find in the toddler section). Or you could play around with some canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Just have fun!
