- 3 cups of homemade granola
- 3 tablespoons margarine
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional: 1/2 cup raisins, or
peanuts, or chocolate chips, or coconut,
or sunflower seeds, or chopped apricots,
or dates, or whatever strikes your fancy
You may use any recipe for granola that you
like. If it already has peanuts and raisins
added then you probably won't want to add
more, but you could if you wanted to. The
end results wouldn't be affected that much
either way.
In a 2 quart sized saucepan melt the
margarine and peanut butter together. Make
sure the heat is low and stir it a lot to
melt it evenly. Meanwhile crack both eggs
into a cereal bowl and beat them up with a
fork. When the margarine and peanut butter
are completely melted together remove the
pan from the heat. Whisk in the eggs. You
have to do this quickly so the eggs won't
cook into scrambled eggs and peanut butter
mess. The mixture will thicken and emulsify
making a nice dough like texture. Beat in
the vanilla. Stir in the prepared home made
granola. Add any optional ingredients to
suit your taste. Turn the mixture into an
oiled 8-inch square pan. Chill the bars in
the fridge until hard. Cut into 16 squares.
Serve with milk for a good snack, or pack in
lunch boxes as a (relatively) healthy treat.
