(SUPER HEALTHY) CHEWY GRANOLA BARS
This is a base recipe that is full of nutrient rich ingredients but yet is not overly sweet. The result is a chewy, almost cake-like granola bar though not at all similar to any that you would find in the supermarket. This recipe is pretty flexible so don't hesitate to modify to suit your tastes. For a vegan version, replace the honey with maple syrup. And, try some of the suggested additions. (Updated March 2008)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; line bottom with parchment paper, and butter parchment. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, flour, and baking soda. Stir in the pecans, raisins, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ, and set aside.
- Place apricots in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and process until smooth, about 60 seconds. Add the butter, and process until smooth. With the machine running, add honey through the feed tube, processing until smooth. Transfer apricot mixture to bowl with oat mixture, and fold until thoroughly combined.
