by Carla Tuhacek

2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3/4 cup Raisins (or 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips)
1/2 cup Toasted Wheat Germ
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Honey
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 large Egg
(Optional 1/4 cup Rice Krispies or Peanut Butter)

Preheat oven to 350. Line 13 x 9 metal baking pan with foil. Spray foil.

In large bowl mix dry ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. With wet hand, pat oat mixture into pan. Bake 25 minutes or until pale golden around edges. DONT OVERCOOK or they get hard as rocks! Cool completely in pan. When cool, transfer to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut crosswise into 6 pieces. Makes 2 dozen bars.
