Design Your Own Granola Bars

I have not tried these bars. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Bake The Best Ever Cookies kids cookbook. Sarah Says: After you have made this recipe a few times, try designing your own granola bars by adding other dried fruits, nuts, and even candies to the basic recipe. Don't like walnuts? Try adding dried cherries or peanuts instead.

1. Preheat the oven to 325.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granola, oats, nuts, flour, and raisins.
3. Blend in the egg, honey, oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Press the mixture evenly into the foil lined baking pan.
