Foody Friday - Healthy Granola Bars

Don't these look yummy! These have become my favorite cookies. Chewy, healthy, and easy to eat on the go! I found this recipe on Sparkpeople.com but modified it for our own tastes.

Healthy Granola Bars

2 1/2 c. old fashioned oats

1 c. whole wheat flour

1 t baking soda

1 t vanilla extract

1 c. applesauce

3 T flaxseed

1/4 c. honey

1/3 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. cranberries or raisins

1/2 c. chopped peanuts

3 T. sunflower seeds

Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly grease one 9x13 inch pan. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Lightly press mixture into a prepared pan. Bake at 325 F for about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then cut into bars. Let cool completely in pan before removing. Makes 24 bars. Enjoy!
