STEP 2: Mix together all dry ingredients. Then, make a well in the center and add beaten egg, oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Pat the mixture evenly in the baking dish.
STEP 3: Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
The directions call for cutting them into bars while still warm, but I find they stay together better to cut them when cooled for about 30 minutes to an hour.
ENJOY!!!
