Quick and Easy Granola Bars

* or any mixture of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc. The mixture can be chopped by hand or in a food processor until coarse, but not quite so large.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix ingredients in a large bowl. When ingredients are thoroughly mixed, spread on an 11 x 17 inch Silpat in a jellyroll-type cookie sheet pan and bake until browned on the edges, about 20-25 minutes.

When done carefully ease the Silpat out of the pan and onto a wire rack. Then peel/slide the Silpat out from under the granola bars and allow to cool. Once cool, cut into pieces, or just break into chunks, which is much easier.
