From the Culinary Institute of America who feel that you can make truly healthy granola bars by starting with low-fat granola and using egg whites instead of oil to bind and crisp the mix Ingredients:
1 large egg white, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups low-fat granola |
1/4 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Lightly oil a 9-inch square baking pan [for recipe making 12 bars] or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a small bowl, whisk egg white, honey, oil, vanilla and cinnamon until blended.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine granola and raisins. Stir in the egg white/honey mixture until well coated. With a wet rubber spatula, press granola into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. (Wrapped tightly, the bars will keep for up to 5 days.).
