Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup, light
1/2 cup margarine melted
2/3 cups peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups oats, quick cooking can substitute half oats and half crisped rice
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup coconut
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup raisins, seedless
1 cup carob chips
1 x nuts or dried fruits you want to add

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish (glass works best).

In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients and stir well (it should be sort of a paste). Stir in remaining ingredients. Press the mixture into the baking pan.

Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes (until it turns golden brown). Cool completely and cut into bars.

Reviews

This is an awesome recipe! It is a hit with everyone, even the ones who don't like 'healthy' food. The only changes I made were to omit the sunflower and sesame seeds and raisins, and to replace carob chips with semi-sweet chips. Hope I find more recipes like this!

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Be sure and double this recipe. It only makes 2 dozen cookies, hardly worth getting the dishes dirty! But the cookies are tasty!
