Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 3/4 cup craisins
  
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup agave nectar
  
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil and generously grease the foil.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars just begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then using the foil, gently lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into individual bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
