Anyone have a favorite granola bar or trail mix recipe?

We are hiking the local trials and I'd like to take along something a bit more healthy than the prepackaged varieties from the store.

Thank you!

our favorite is Elizabeth's recipe!! soooooo good. except i don't make it as often since maple syrup went up 2.5x in price. i've used agave nectar as substitute and it's quite good too.

It certainly does look good, Stef. We'll have to try it.

Thank you for posting it....I visit her main blog and the Serendipity blog, but haven't been to the food blog.

I like the granola bars from 30 Day Gourmet. I thought they had it on their website, but I can't find it. I can look for my cookbook later and post

I make a very simple granola (the kids are sort of anti nuts and seeds here...at least the littles)

I take a cup of oil, a cup of honey, then add a handful of whole wheat flour, and lots of oats and coconut until it is the right consistency. I think the ratio (out of the More With Less cookbook) is 1 cup wet to about 6-8 dry!).

It's different every time, but we love it as a break from oatmeal in the summer! I make a large batch that can last the week in our 6 person home.

Oh, and we add raisins as we eat it (funny eh how with four kids some like some things, others don't- a wee bit frustrating at times!)
