My husband found this recipe, we made them for his marathon and he loved them. I have substituted peanuts, for the walnuts and omitted the raisins and they still taste great. Chewy yet crunchy.

12 -16 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°.
2
Line a 13x9 inch pan with foil and spray with Pam.
3
In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, raisins,wheat germ, salt, cinnamon, and walnuts.
4
In a smaller bowl, thoroughly blend oil, honey, egg, and vanilla; pour into flour mixture, and mix by hand until the liquid is evenly distributed.
5
I use rubber gloves for this.
6
Press evenly into the prepared baking pan.
7
Bake 25-30 minutes in the oven or until the edges are golden.
8
Cool completely in pan before turning out onto a cutting board and cutting into bars.

WOW! These granola bars were chewy and delicious. For a healthy version they stayed together wonderfully and tasted delicious!

I've made these twice now- the first time I thought they were way too sweet, more like a cookie type bar. The kids loved them though, and they are pretty healthy, a lot more healthy than most cookies. The second time, I cut the brown sugar back to 1/4 cup. I also used whole wheat pastry four, dried blueberries, and cut the oil to 1/2 cup, subbing plain applesauce. These came out perfect for me, and I don't think anyone else noticed. OH- I also added a couple tbs of ground flax seed. Yummy AND healthy! Thanks for posting!

OOOHH absolutely love them! i replaced the raisins with dried cranberries and it tasted awesome. i like the chewy texture and all the good stuff inside. its much better than those store-bought bars and you can play always play around with a variety of ingredients. one bar gives you sufficient amt of energy! this is a sure keeper!

These are great! I've tried using dried fruit bits instead of just raisins and also various nuts instead of just walnuts. I've also added coconut to the mixture but I think it dried it out too much so they became a little more crumbly. And make sure to let them cool completely before cutting, that is very important.
