Granola Bars

 So I'll be honest I just kinda looked at several recipes for granola bars and got rough ideas on how they are made and decided to take a swing at it with my own twist.  So glad I did they turned out so well.  So I'll encourage you to take this recipe and change it up a little... add raisins, carrots,pistachio  nuts, whatever you want!!   Play around a little.  But here is my own mixture:

 preheat oven to 350  and generously  grease baking pan.

 What you need:
2 cups oatmeal
3/4 cup packed  brown sugar
1 cup granola cereal
1 tsp salt
1tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup of flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2  cup chocolate chips
1/2  cup of honey
2 eggs beaten
1/2  cup  vegetable oil
 vanilla icing

 In a large bowl mix all your  dry  ingredients  then stir in your beaten eggs and oil. Lastly stir in your honey mixing thoroughly.

 Place on baking sheet and form into sqare. Bake for 30  minutes  then  allow to cool for 5  minutes and cut into desired bar sizes.  Allow to cool the rest of the way.

 Once cooked in a microwave safe bowl take a spoonful on vanilla icing and heat for 30  seconds  then  use spoon to drizzle over bars cool and serve or wrap individual pieces.
