Title: Almond Granola Bars
Categories: Diabetic, Snacks
Yield: 16 servings

1 1/2 c Rolled oats 1 ts Vegetable oil
1/4 c Oat bran 1/3 c Honey
1/4 c Finely chopped almonds 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon 1/4 ts Almond extract
2 tb Vegetable oil plus

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine remaining
ingredients and add to dry mixture. Mix until all ingredients are
moistened.

Press mixture into a rectangular shape 7 inches wide and nine inches
long. (Wet hands or use one hand and a damp spoon.)

Bake about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 16 bars using a
sharp knife. Separate bars slightly and return to oven for 3 to 5
minutes more. The browner the bottom of the bars, the crisper they
will be when cool.

The edges will crumble slightly when cut - set aside for a snack.
Remove to a wire rack to cool.
