Toasted Coconut Granola Bars

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup raisins, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup wheat germ
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Spread oats, coconut, and almonds onto a baking sheet; toast in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  3. Mix toasted oats mixture with flour, raisins, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl; add eggs, canola oil, honey, and vanilla extract and mix into a sticky mixture.
  4. Generously grease a baking sheet. Spread the mixture into the baking sheet in an even layer, reaching completely to the edges.
