We are not the healthiest eaters on the block, but we do try to eat whole foods from locally grown sources when possible. I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, too. I have been making our morning granola bars, and they are a big hit. I got the recipe from the Internet, and it can easily be manipulated to suit tastes and nutrition..
4 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use oats from the grocery store)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup butter (or margarine, squished banana, or other soft substance to hold it all together)
1/2 cup honey (local is good :))
1/3 cup brown sugar (or agave or maple sugar..)
2 cups of nuts, raisins, chocolate, seeds, or other filler..
Mix all ingredients by hand. They should be all wet and moist and gooey. The wetter the better. Put all on a cookie sheet and roll out. Cook for 18 to 22 minutes at 325 until browned around the edges slightly. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. I store ours in a glass container in the microwave or in the fridge.
Yum.

I can vouch for how good these are. I used maple syrup and zweet when I made them. And I also added shredded coconut which was perfect!
