Steps:
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large pot, combine the butter, brown sugar and honey. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Add the oats, rice cereal, almonds and flax meal (or wheat germ) to the pan and fold with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down lightly with a rubber spatula to even out. Sprinkle the miniature chocolate chips over top, adding more or less to suit your taste, and press down firmly with the spatula so the chips stick.The mixture should be tightly compacted in the pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1½ - 2 hours to cool.
- Use the foil overhang to transfer the uncut bars to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into rectangles. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you have to stack them, be sure to use parchment paper or foil in between the layers, otherwise they'll stick together and fall apart.
- Note: If you are substituting dried fruit for the chocolate chips, mix it in along with the other ingredients as opposed to sprinkling over top.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The granola bars can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, move them to the refrigerator and store there.

Says Barb Wyman from her kitchen in Hankinson, North Dakota: "Because I love candy bars and marshmallows, this recipe was a cinch to invent-and I've yet to find anyone who doesn't enjoy it! The quick bars make great individually wrapped treats for picnics, lunch boxes or out-the-door snacking. And with all the different layers and flavors, they're sure to please just about everyone."

Steps:
- Line a 9-inch square baker with two strips of criss-crossed parchment paper, cut to fit neatly against the base and up the sides. The parchment paper will make it easy for you to slice the bars later.
- Place the oats in a large mixing bowl**. Add the cinnamon and salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Now we'll blitz the mix-ins briefly in the food processor or blender (or, you can chop them by hand). Add any large nuts (like almonds or pecans) first and blitz for a few seconds. Then add the rest and run the machine for a few more seconds, until the ingredients are all broken up into pieces smaller than your pinky nail. Pour the mix-ins into the bowl of oats.
- In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, measure out the nut butter. Top with ½ cup honey and the vanilla extract. Stir until well blended. If you must, you can gently warm the liquid mixture on the stovetop or in the microwave, but make sure it's close to room temperature before you pour it into the dry mixture (this is especially important if using chocolate, since it will melt).
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a big spoon to mix them together until the two are evenly combined and no dry oats remain. This takes some arm muscles, but you can do it! If the mixture was easy to mix together, that's a sign that you need to add some more oats-sprinkle in more oats until you can't incorporate any more.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared square baker. Use your spoon to arrange the mixture fairly evenly in the baker, then use the bottom of a flat, round surface (like a short, sturdy drinking glass) to pack the mixture down as firmly and evenly as possible.
- Cover the baker and refrigerate for at least one hour, or preferably overnight. (The oats need time to soak up some of the moisture so they aren't sticky.) When you're ready to slice, lift the bars out of the baker by grabbing both pieces of parchment paper on opposite corners. Use a sharp knife to slice the bars into 4 even columns and 4 even rows.
- Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap or parchment paper (if you store them all together, they will stick to one another). Bars keep well for several days at room temperature, a couple of weeks in the fridge, or several months in a freezer-safe bag in the freezer for best flavor.

ALMOST GRANOLA BAR COOKIES
We went all in on flavor and texture with these cookies, using whole grain Pima club soft wheat flour, rolled oats, walnuts, dark chocolate, and tart cherries. The fiber content makes the cookies "almost-granola bars" -- and they're probably more healthy than some granola bars on the market! -- but no doubt these cookies are still a special treat, especially if you put in all the optional ingredients in italics.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars. Use a paddle attachment if using a stand mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until smooth.
- In another bowl, briefly whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; and then add this to the wet ingredients, mixing briefly just until everything is incorporated. To use one less bowl, alternately you can add the baking soda and salt to the batter first, then mill the flour directly into the batter and fold it in.
- Finally fold in the oats, chocolate chips, nuts, and dried fruit. The oats are needed for a proper batter consistency, but the other additions are optional.
- Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if possible. Your cookies will simply be a little flatter if you skip the chilling step.
- Preheat your oven to 325F.
- Using a spoon and damp fingertips, shape the batter into balls and place them on a baking sheet with a couple of inches in between.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes. The timing will depend on your cookie size. Look for lightly browned edges and no shiny-wet batter in the center of the cookies.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, wait a few minutes, and then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
- Store the cookies in a covered container after they have completely cooled.
- You can freeze extra batter by pre-making cookie balls, freezing them on a sheet and then transferring them to a plastic container OR by laying a sheet of plastic wrap on your countertop, spreading the batter in a thick line on in, and rolling it up into a tube. Unwrap and cut 1/2-inch-thick slices when you're ready to bake. In both methods, bake from frozen.
