Assembly Directions:
In a large mixer bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar,
honey or corn syrup, vanilla and eggs. Add flour,
cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Mix well. With a
large spoon, stir in oats, cereal, and nuts, fruits
or baking chips. Spray treat a glass 9”x13” pan.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
For chewy bars, bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
The edges will just be beginning to brown, but the
top won’t be brown yet. Remove from the oven and
cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 16 bars by slicing
through the middle lengthwise, then crosswise 7
times. Allow to cool completely. For crunchy bars,
bake at 300 degrees until the surface is golden
brown all over; about 40-50 minutes. Cool
completely, and then cut as above.
Freezing Directions:
Put the bars in rigid containers or freezer bags.
Or, for quick individual servings, put each bar in a
fold-top sandwich bag, and then put all the sandwich
bags in a freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Remove the needed number of bars from the freezer.
Allow to thaw at room temperature, or microwave for
20 seconds on high. If you’re packing lunches, put
the frozen bar in the lunch box and it will be
thawed by lunchtime. Enjoy!
Tammy’s Comments:
This version of the recipe has been changed slightly
from the Freezer Manual version, based on results
and comments from our cooks. You can make this
recipe in a metal or stoneware pan, but glass pans
seemed to give the most consistent results for our
cooks. If you’re making chewy bars, it’s important
to take them out of the oven when the timer rings.
If you wait until they look like they’re done,
you’ll have crunchy bars! If you do end up with
crunchy, crumbly bars, the crumbles make a great
addition to yogurt or ice cream. Two 9”x13” pans
will fit in most ovens, so mix up 2 different flavor
batches at the same time.
