snarpBased on this recipe. I've been making these for Dad, who complains when I don't use the chocolate chips, but they're fine plain.
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup chocolate chips, raisins, or dried cranberries (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients, then add wet. Add chocolate chips/dried fruit if desired. Mix until all dry ingredients are moist. Pat down firmly in greased 9"x11" pan, leaving as few gaps between clumps of oats as possible; empty spaces will make the bars brittle and cause them to crumble easily. Bake for 30 minutes. Slice into 8-10 rectangular pieces immediately upon removing from oven, then allow to cool until hard before removing from pan.
