Basic granola and peanut butter granola bars

These recipes are insanely easy and adaptable. You can mix in any add- ins you want to suit you and your family's tastes. No big surprise here, but I like to add chocolate chips (mini chips for the granola bars and regular, dark chocolate chips for the granola). Bake granola and cool before adding your extras! I also added toasted wheat germ to the granola bars (and left out the chia seeds-- what are those)? Another tip: watch the granola carefully as it bakes, because it burns quickly. :)
