Sorry sf, I should have been more specific. I don't want to make granola
either plain or toasted but we have a thing here called 'Muesli bars' that
I'm sure would have started their domestic and commercial life in the US
before reaching our shores. That the sort of 'granola based' recipe I'm
interested in and i"ve now found recipes for granol bars so am well pleased.
But thanks for posting the recipe it was very kind of you to do so.
