cinnamon graham squares - whole wheat!
Sweetened with honey & brown sugar and packed with whole wheat flour, these squares are a healthy & filling snack. They are also quite inexpensive to make, and great for kids. You can also add chocolate or banana's to them if you want to change it up.
6 c whole wheat flour (you can substitute also)
1 1/2 c oatmeal
1 c brown sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
3 T cinnamon
3/4 c honey
1 1/2 c oil
1 cup cold water
This recipe is large, so you can half it if you want.
Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine honey, oil, and water in a separate bowl. Mix well, then add to dry ingredients and stir until mixture forms a thick, crumbly dough. Grease two 9x9 baking pans and let your kids "mash" the mixture into each pan. You can't really go wrong as you press the dough flat. Using a butter knife, pre-cut your squares. Bake for 13-15 min at 400 degrees F - until lightly browned. Cool (if you can even wait!), re-slice, and store in an air-tight container. You can also freeze for later.
