I am a food label snob to some extent! I only like Quaker Oats granola bars. Maybe it's the cute quaker man on the front of the box or the way my teeth sink into a chewy yet subtle crunch of goodness! Or could be that I secretly feel like I am doing my body good and making healthier choices? Sure, it has sugar in it but it's better than a Krispy Kreme donut. (which btw, I have a recipe for those too)
MY FAMILY LOVES THESE! I may have mentioned that before but I just wanted to be clear!! After reading the comments I settled on Rachael Rays method and ingredients. She shares it HERE
I double the recipe and pack it down into a 9X13 pan.
CHEWY NO BAKE OATMEAL RAISIN GRANOLA BARS
DRY INGREDIENTS: (in large bowl) This is adapted.
1 C rice krispies
1 C granola (orig. calls for two cups granola but I wanted to add 1 Cup instant oats)
1 Cup INSTANT oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon ( I make it 1 tsp)
1/2 C Raisins (i make it 3/4 cup)
WET INGREDIENTS in sauce pan
4tbls butter or half a stick
1/4 C brown sugar
1/4 C honey
(I double this for a 9x13 pan)
bring this to a good boil. Typically 3 min
(I do use sweetened granola and you should adjust your sugar portions if your granola is sweetened. so that your full sugar addition is 3/4ths cup insyead of a 1/2 cup.
