CHERRY-CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS
Skip the granola bar options at the grocery store--they're easy to make at home! You can vary the add-ins to your taste, swapping 2 cups of any combination of small (or chopped) dried fruit, nuts and/or seeds for the chocolate, cherries and coconut in this version. We tested several sticky sweeteners, including maple syrup and honey, but found brown rice syrup held the bars together the best.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra parchment hanging over two sides. Lightly coat the parchment with cooking spray.
- Combine oats, rice cereal, cherries, almonds, chocolate chips, coconut and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine rice syrup (or corn syrup), almond butter and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds (or heat in a saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute). Add to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared pan and firmly press into the pan with the back of a spatula.
- For chewier bars, bake until barely starting to color around the edge and still soft in the middle, 20 to 25 minutes. For crunchier bars, bake until golden brown around the edge and somewhat firm in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes. (Both will still be soft when warm and firm up as they cool.)
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then using the parchment to help you, lift out of the pan onto a cutting board (it will still be soft). Cut into 24 bars, then let cool completely without separating the bars, about 30 minutes more. Once cool, separate into bars.

CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA BARS
I found this recipe on the Dollar Stretcher site. These aren't what I would call "granola" bars but, it doesn't matter what you name them, they're good! I like them better with raisin instead of the chocolate chips.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange oats, almonds, and dry quinoa on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Toast for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and lightly fragrant, removing the pan from the oven halfway through to shake everything up. Keep a close eye as it can go from golden to burnt quickly.
- Once toasted, transfer oats/almonds/quinoa to a large mixing bowl immediately to cool down. Add crispy rice cereal to the bowl and stir everything up to combine evenly.
- Line an 8"x8" pan with parchment paper and set aside, leaving the parchment long enough on two opposite sides so you'll be able to easily lift it out of the pan later on.
- Add honey, almond butter, oil, brown sugar, and salt to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Stir to combine, then cook for a few minutes until heated throughout and the very edges of the pan are becoming bubbly.
