Making granola bars today!

So we are in money saving mode in 2010... The time in the states was awesome, but all the exess of awesome stores and stuff and shopping and outlets was a little hard on our bank accounts!!  So, instead of buying protein bars (which are $3.00 each) to munch on my way to the gym, I have decided to try and make my own... So after a bit of googling, I found a recipe that looks halfway decent.  I'm planning on modifying the recipe slightly as it calls for protein powder and I am not a huge fan, but I will let you know how it goes!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
•1 cup oats
•1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•1/4 cup protein powder
•1/2 cup liquid egg whites
•1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
•1/4 cup raisins

Directions:
•Preheat oven to 350*F
•Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well
•Spray an 8 X 4 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray
•Spread batter into pan evenly and use a spatula to flatten
•Bake for 12-15 minutes
•Allow to cool before cutting
 
I am also excited to try out my new KitchenAid Mixer (I have the cherry red one).
 
Happy Sunday, and I will let you know how the baking extravaganza goes!
