what's cooking wednesday - peanut butter granola bars

Well these taste just like nostalgia, so says Michael. These seemed pretty easy to whip up to have on hand for after school snacks... although Maya was out as soon as she heard the word granola. Not even peanut butter could sway her this time. Abby was a fan though.



Peanut butter granola bars

1 cup light peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
2 cups large flake rolled oats
1/2 cup *each* wheat germ, raisins and dried apricots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix peanut butter, honey and oil together until well blended. Mix in the remaining ingredients and press into a 9 inch square pan and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.

Recipe Notes: Mike says these remind him of those really hard granola bars we used to get we were kids. The taste anyway, there are on the soft/chewy side. They are a great little after school snack since they can't go to our nut free school. I will definitely make these again and again.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

*Posts that aren't linked back will be deleted*
*Posts that don't include some sort of a recipe will be deleted*

Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
