Granola Bars

I love the taste of oats and raisins eaten together but store-bought granola bars are always too sweet. This is it!! A wholesome, simple, delicious, and crumbly granola bar. Perfect for breakfast, dessert or snacks. I bake mine in a square Pyrex 8" by 8" pan.

Mix 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup corn oil, and a couple of teaspoons of real vanilla extract, with a whisk. Then add a few cups of rolled oats (use old-fashioned oats, not quick oats). Add about a half-cup of whole wheat flour, and a dash of water to lightly moisten the whole thing. Add sprinkles of salt to taste, and some raisins. Then press into a greased pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Next time I will measure the oats, flour, and water!

Enjoy!
