1 cup to 1 1/4 cup Rapadura(or any other dark type of sugar...just not white. I actually use half raw/half rapadura because rapadura is so expensive)

1/2 cup softened butter or coconut oil

2 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 cup flour of your choice(add a tad more flour if you are only using 1 cup of sugar)

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1 1/4 cups rolled oats

1 1/4 cups crispy rice cereal, or any grain type cereal

1/2 cup wheat germ (optional) or flax meal(we use the flax)

ONE OR TWO OF THE FOLLOWING:
1 cup chocolate or carob chips
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup creamy or chunky nut butter
1/2 cup nuts
1/2-1 cup raisins, dried apples, apricots
1/2 cup fruit preserves
(our favorite combo is some sort of chocolate or carob chips plus macadamia nuts)
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add honey(or maple syrup), vanilla and egg. Mix well. Blend in flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in remaining ingredients. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350< for 20-25 minutes.
