Homemade Granola Bars

Homemade Granola Bars






3 - cups quick cooking oatmeal


(I used Quaker Oats)


1 - cup unsalted peanuts


1 - cup raisins


1 - cup sliced almonds (I used whole almonds)


1 1/2 tsp cinnamon


14 oz can sweetened condensed milk


1/2 - cup butter, melted


1/4 cup unsalted sunflower seeds


( I used honey roasted)










Preheat oven to 325. Line a 15x10x1 in baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non stick baking spray. I used a 9x13 inch glass pan because I wanted thicker bars. Stir all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour into prepared pan and spread out the mixture. Press down to make it even. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes in the pan then cut into bars. Place the bars on a wire rack and cool completely. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
