Fruit/ nut granola bars

I love these homemade granola bars! They are so handy to eat for breakfast or after a workout!

3/4 c rolled oats
3/4 c sliced almonds
1/2 c chopped dried apricots
1/3 c dried cherries (or cranberries)
1/4 c golden raisins
1/4 c honey
1/4 c dry milk powder or 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
2 T natural peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350. Mix oats and almonds and spread evenly in shallow baking pan. Toast for 8-10 minutes or until light brown.  In a food processor, combine the rest of the ingredients. Pulse to blend together. Add toasted oats and almonds to mixture in the food processor. Cover and pulse until blended and sticky. Spray an 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray. Press bar mixture evenly and firmly into the pan. Cut into 8 bars.
