Easy Granola Bars
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chips or chunks (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line pan bottom and up the two sides with a 9 x 18-inch strip of heavy duty aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together. Pour into prepared pan and pat down until firmly packed. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature and put pan in freezer.
When bar is firm, use foil handles to remove from pan. Remove foil and use a sharp knife to cut into sixteen 1-by 4-inch bars. Can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week or may be frozen.
