Preheat oven to 325°. Spray 13x9 metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Line pan with foil, with ends extending 2 inches over short sides of pan. Spray foil. In glass pie plate, spread oats; microwave on high - in 1 minute increments - for 4 to 5 minutes or until fragrant and golden, stir occasionally. Cool to room temp. In large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ, walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir in honey, oil and eggs whites until well mixed. Transfer to prepared pan. Using wet hand, press into even layer. Bake 32 to 35 minutes or until dark golden. Cool in pan on wire rack. When cool, use foil to transfer to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 6 strips then cut each strip crosswise into thirds. Should have roughly 4 1/4 by 1 1/2 bars.
