• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 1  cup rolled oats
• 1⁄4 cup sunflower seeds
• 1⁄3 cup  sliced almonds
• 1⁄4 cup wheat germ
• 3⁄4 cup honey or 3⁄4 cup  agave nectar
• 1⁄4 cup dark brown sugar or 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 2  tablespoons canola oil
• 2  teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 cup  chopped  dried fruit

Directions

1. Preheat oven 300 degrees F.
2. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add honey, dark brown sugar, canola oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Just stir that until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Add oat mixture, and chopped dried fruit mix.
4. When the mixture is completely mixed and no more liquid seems apparent, move that into a well-oiled 9 x 9 baking dish.
5. Allow the bars to cool completely. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, turn out onto a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
