Oat and Almond Breakfast Bars

I found this magazine I liked when I was in Barnes & Noble one day - Light & Delish. I also just found that you can get all these recipes free online at delish.com... It met the "I should have most of these ingredients in my cupboard" criteria (and they looked healthy)! I've actually made like 3 things out of it already, and have loved them, but here is a quick & easy, do-it-yourself granola recipe.

1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. honey
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 lg. egg
2 c. old-fashioned oats, uncooked
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. toasted wheat germ
1/2 c. raisins
3/4 tsp. salt


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 13" by 9" metal baking pan with nonstick foil (if not using nonstick, lightly grease foil). 2. In 2-cup liquid measuring cup, stir oil, honey, vanilla, and egg until mixed. In large bowl, with fork, mix oats, flour, sugar, almonds, wheat germ, raisins, and salt until combined. With rubber spatula, stir honey mixture into oat mixture until blended; scrape into prepared pan. With wet hand, pat oat mixtutre evenly into pan. 3. Bake 30-35 minutes or until pale golden around edges. Cool Completely in pan on wire rack, about 1 hour. 4. When cool, transfer using foil to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 6 pieces. Store in tightly sealed container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
