Oatmeal Breakfast Bars


4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup of add-ins such as miniature semisweet chocolate chips or other chips, raisins, craisins or other dried fruit, nuts or a combination (chocolate chip and pistachio-craisin are pictured)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease one 9 inch square pan or a 9 x 13 inch pan, depending on how thick you like your bars.
In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients down to the add-ins, mixing well. Stir in the add-ins. Lightly press mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes then cut into bars. Let bars cool completely in pan before removing or serving.
