Description

These homemade granola bars are low in sugar and fat, and high in fruit and fibre. They’re perfect for lunch-boxes as an alternative to the sugary store-bought granola bars.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups Rogers Porridge Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Raisins
  • ½ cups Dried Apricots, Chopped
  • ½ cups Honey
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 1 whole Banana, Mashed
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the porridge oats, cinnamon, flour, and fruit. Make a well in the centre, pour in the honey, egg, banana, oil and vanilla. Mix well. Pat the mixture evenly into the pan. Bake for about 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars or squares. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting or they will be too hard to cut.

Note: Rogers porridge oats are a mixture of oats, wheat bran, oat bran and flax seed. If you can’t find this stuff, use 1 1/4 cups of rolled oats, and 1/4 cup each of wheat bran, oat bran and flax seed.

I love that these are such a healthy granola bar. They turned out fantastic. The only change I made was substitute craisins for raisins because no one really cares for raisins in my household. Next time I may add just a touch of brown sugar to give a little more sweet but otherwise these are amazing! Thanks for the keeper!

Made these this afternoon with some slight changes: used craisins instead of raisins (preference), and used a small light vanilla yogurt instead of banana (don’t like bananas). Thought they came out good. Could have used a bit more flavoring, but I will be making them again, as they are a healthy alternative to the other stuff my family could be eating! Thanks for the great snack/breakfast!

I’m happy to see a granola bar recipe that doesn’t have a ton of butter in it. I’ll give these a try.
