Directions

• Preheat oven to 325 F.
• Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with olive oil cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, wheat germ, almonds, apples, and raisins or other dried fruit.
• Stir well and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, stir together Sue Bee® honey, peanut butter, and olive oil over medium-low heat until well blended. Do not boil.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• Add the warmed mixture to the dry ingredients and stir quickly until well combined.
• Pat the mixture into the baking pan and use the bottom of a moistened drinking glass to press firmly to remove air pockets.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown.
• Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Cut into 16 bars (halve lengthwise, then cut into 8 lengths).
• When just cool enough to handle, remove bars from pan and cool completely on rack.
• Place any crumbs that fall into the baking pan and add to turned off oven and later, enjoy as cereal with the milk of your choice.
• Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
