Granola Girl Granola Bars

I'm not a "granola" girl by any means, but I love my healthy food almost as much as I love cookies! I have been making these "Playgroup Granola Bars" for a few months because my hubby LOVES them, and they're less expensive than buying them pre-made! Here are the tweaks I've made:

Change 3/4 C Brown Sugar ---> 3/4 C Strawberry Preserves

Change 3/4 C Raisins ---> 1 C Dried Cranberries

Change 1 C Flour ---> 1 C Rice Flour (supposedly it's better for you?)

Add 1/2 C Unsalted Whole Almonds

Remove Salt

Remove Oil

They have just enough sweetness with the added bonus of almonds (protein), cranberries (vitamin C) & wheat germ (folic acid). I have to say, they turned out pretty tasty!
