Granola Bars

Cranberry-Apricot

This is a recipe from the April, 2009 Parents magazine that I would love to try:

Line an 8 X 8 baking pan with foil, letting it extend over the edges
Spritz it with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, mix 1 cup low-fat granola, 1 cup folled oats, 1 cup finely copped apricots and cranberries, and 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup canola oil, and 1/3 tsp cinnamon.
Stir into granola mixture, then pat batter in the pan
Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until browned
When cool, use foil to lift from pan
Cut into bars
Store at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months

(Makes 15)
