Granola Bars

• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ½ cup pecans, walnuts, almonds or mixed nuts, chopped

Night before:

  Mix honey, sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl that is microwave safe.    Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until boils vigorously.  Stir in peanut butter until the mixture is smooth.

  Pour in granola and nuts, and stir until coated.  Grease 9 inch by 12 inch pan, then press mixture into the pan.    Cut into bars.

NOTES:

·         These are great for afternoon snacks or lunch boxes as well

·         If you are short on granola (as I was)  mix in flakes or Cheerios or other non-sweetened cereal
