Granola Bars

I stole this from my friend's blog. It looked delicious!

5 cups of oatmeal, (put reg oatmeal in my blender to make it like flour! works like a charm)
1 cup of powdered milk
1 cup almonds (you might want to chop those so your kids cant tell they are there!)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (optional)
1 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tea spoon salt
1 tea spoon vanilla
1/4 cup of the the mini choc chips to sweeten it up a little bit! (optional)

if you use the olive oil first and then use the same measuring cup for your honey, the honey will come out really easy! Mix all together , it will be really crumbly, press it in to a cookie sheet really good and bake at 300 for 30 min if you want them crunchy and 20-25 min if you want them more soft and chewy! cut them in to squares right after they come out of the oven, then leave them in pan to cool and then you can put in container or zip loc bag! We love these!!!! (should make around 40) 1=118calories (about)
