Homemade Nutrigrain Bars

A few years ago, my kids really liked Nutrigrain bars.  I hunted for a recipe that would approximate the store-bought bars, but that I could guarantee weren’t full of preservatives.  I make these about once every 6 weeks or so and they get eaten very quickly in our household!

In a mixing bowl mix well:

• 1 cup butter (softened for 30 seconds in microwave)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup almond meal/flour (if you don’t have almond meal flour, you can just use plain flour.)
• 1 1/2 cup of oats
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
