i've been wanting to make granola bars for tyler.  i finally got around to it.  i found the recipe for the granola bar at allrecipes.com.  to make it bit healthier, i used 1/2 cup white flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.  also used 1/2 cup of brown sugar.  rest of the ingredients, i kept it same as the recipe. 

in addition to the ingredients, i also added sliced almonds, blueberries and chocolate chips.  next time i'll add more variety of nuts and dried fruits. 

after i mixed all the ingredients, i had tyler help me flatten out the granola before it goes in the oven.  this is easy enough to have my little 2 year old (almost 3 year old) to help me. 

i took it to tyler's class.  but because some of the kids have peanut allergies.... so the teachers ate them.  i even got a thank you card from his teacher
