Energy Bars!

My kids really enjoy these and even non-health nuts are happy to eat them :)

Whisk together until evenly blended:
3 eggs
1 cup honey
1 cup oil (1/2 applesauce and 1/2 oil is also great)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt

Mix in alternating:
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar (or 3/4 honey and 2 TBS molasses)
1 cup wheat germ
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups whole wheat flour

Then stir in:
1/2 cup flax seeds/pumpkin seeds or craisins
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or carob chips

Press mixture into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until edges are brown. About 20-25 minutes. cool and cut up :)

These are a great grab and go. If you have them with you, it will mean less trips to fast food restaurants, which I avoid with all of my might!
