Ingrediants:

 

Honey, 1 cup

Coconut Oil, 4 tablespoons

Brown Sugar, 1/2 cup

Vanilla Extract, 4 teaspoons

 

Oatmeal, 4 cups

Wheat Germ, 1 cup

Shredded Cocounut, 1/2 cup

Cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon

Salt, 1 teaspoon

Dried Fruit, get jiggy with it

 

 

In a medium pot, mix honey, cocunut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat till the brown sugar has completely dissolved.

 

In a bowl mix together oatmeal, wheat germ, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, and dried fruit.

Here I use dried pomegranates and chopped up dried figs that I "eye-balled" in measurement.

 

Pour the wet mixture from the pot into the dry ingrediants.  Stir till completely combined.  It may seem a bit dry but don't worry.

 

Here I packed down the mixture onto half of a regular cookie sheet lined with wax paper. 

Make sure you grease the wax paper before putting the granola on it so that it doesn't stick to it later.

I pressed down and formed with my hands.  A little bit of hard work.

 

Bake in the oven at 300 degreses for 25 minutes.

 

Here's my homemade granola bar I ate on the go to stay healthy and away from donuts!

 

YAY!  So much healthier than the store ones.  Next time, I want to try it without the brown sugar and with more fruit.
