      12 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Quick Oats
  • 1 1/2 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 1/2 cup Flax Seed
  • 1-1 1/2 cups Raisins
  • 2 tablespoons Oil, Grapeseed, canola, vegetable, melted coconut -- any will work
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

  1. Line a 9 X 9 pan with parchment paper or foil. You want a piece large enough that the sides will come back over and cover the top of the bars once you fill the pan.
  2. In a large bowl stir together the oats and Crisp Rice Cereal. Toss it together with the flax seeds and raisins.
  3. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a medium saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium high heat. Stir to make sure the brown sugar dissolves, and turn the heat off.
  4. Pour the hot liquid over the oats and stir to coat evenly. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan.
  5. Fold the parchment or foil over the top of the granola in the pan and PRESS to fill the corners and flatten. Keep pressing and smooth the granola out so that it is even across the pan.
  6. Let the granola bars set up in a cool dry place for at least an hour. They will set faster in the freezer. I like to make mine in the evening and let them set up overnight.
