Richhart's Favorite Granola Bars
This recipe is based on a well reviewed recipe called Playgroup Granola Bars.  It is tripled because we can go through these quickly.  Our favorite version is with chocolate chips.
6 cups rolled oats
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1-1/2 cups wheat germ
2-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 cups raisins, craisons and/or chocolate chips
2-1/4 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups honey
3 egg, beaten
1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease TWO 9x13 inch baking pans.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
