Quaker Who? Granola Bars

Quaker Who? Granola Bars

Ingredients:
oats
nuts, almonds
mini semi-sweet chocolate baking chips,
cherries, sweet, raw
shortening confectionery, coconut (hydrogenated) and or palm kernel (hydrogenated)
milk, canned, condensed, sweetened

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add condensed milk and stir until dry ingredients become sticky (I used my hands to finish this process).
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Scoop oat mixture into the dish.
Spray a flat spatula with cooking spray and press oats flat into the dish.
Bake for 2030 minutes, until edges are slightly browned.
This will produce a dense, slightly chewy bar.
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
Using a table knife, gently cut bars into 1x 4 pieces.
Gently slide a knife around the border of the bars to release from the dish.
Allow to cool in dish for about 20 minutes prior to removing the bars.
Wrap each individual bar in plastic wrap for storage.
