Something light....Granola bars

Pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds...each type I have some balance from previous baking. What should I do to clear off before they turned rancid. Granola bars, yes!
Found a good recipe from Jenny can cook and immediately started work. Very simple and quick recipe. Results.... You get yummy and crunchy bars. No regrets.

Recipe (makes 12 bars)

Liquid Ingredients

1/3 cup flavorless oil (canola)

1/3 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients

2 1/2 cups of regular oats

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 cup nut mixtures ( cut almond, cut walnut, raisins, pumpkin seeds etc)

Line a square pan and grease the parchment paper.

Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix  well. Mix the liquid in order in a measuring cup. Stir to blend. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well and transfer to the baking pan. Use hand or something flat to compress it.

Bake in a preheat oven of 325deg F (160 deg C) for 30 minute. 

Cool on rack before removing from pan. Cut to bars or squares to serve.

Note: Pressing the bars down very firmly before baking is key. I put the pan on the seat of a chair so I can put all my body weight behind it when pressing down. An easy way is to use a spatula and press it all over the mixture, many times over. BARS NOT HOLDING TOGETHER? Try pressing them down again after baking. Let them cool for 10 minutes and press down firmly while warm, then let them cool COMPLETELY before cutting.
