BUMMER!!

   Sometimes I just get in too much of a hurry! and sometimes I just try to do to much at once, then I end up ruining something, like today. Jake and Mahlon are here and of course Jake wanted to make cookies. I have been wanting some homemade granola bars so I decided we could make them. When we got them into the oven Jake was still asking to make cookies, to him granola bars are not cookies! I said ok we can whip up some no-bake cookies while the granola bars bake. In the meantime, I was in the process of trying to up-load some pictures onto a knitting website... Long story short, I burnt the granola bars! :(  I had even set the timer, and it went off right after I got the no-bakes done, but I shut it off and set back down at the computer and forgot to take them out of the oven!!! GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!  I hate it when I do stupid things like that! I was trying so hard to figure out how to do that crazy picture that I lost track of what I was doing.
 I will go ahead and share the AWSOME granola bar recipe anyway!!

Cinnamon Granola Bars (I usually double this)

 1/4 c. butter (softened)
 1 c. brown sugar
 1 egg
 2 Tbs ground flaxseed
 2 Tbs Wheat Bran
 2 Tbs Wheat Germ
 2 Tbs honey
 2 c old fashioned rolled oats
 1 c. whole wheat flour
 1/2 c all-purpose flour
 1 tsp cinnamon
 1/2 tsp baking soda
 1/2 c chocolate chips or raisins
 
 Mix well as you do cookies... spray a cake pan and bake at 350 for 18-20 mins.
 Just remember to take them out of the oven when the timer goes off!!!
