M&M's® Granola Bars

Very tasty! My uber-picky 12-year old even loves them, so I know that the toughest critic will enjoy these. For a crunchier bar, bake longer; for a chewier bar, bake less.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2 ½ cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup honey
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup flax seed meal
• 1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, about 25 minutes.

Step 3

Stir oats, milk chocolate pieces, flour, flax seed meal, brown sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the oat mixture.

Step 4

Whisk egg in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add honey, oil, and vanilla; whisk until well-combined. Pour egg mixture into the well in the oat mixture. Stir until evenly combined. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish; pat down and spread the mixture flat, leaving at least 1-inch of space between the mixture and the sides of the dish.
