Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. |

Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. |

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. |

Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut. |
