“Full of dried fruit, nuts and seeds, these bars are delicious and much more filling than most granola bars.”
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
(I use dry oat meal)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup Granola
1 t ground cinnamon
2 beaten eggs
½ cup Applesauce
½ cup honey
6 T brown sugar
4 T vegetable oil
½ cup sunflower seeds - kernels only, no shells
(Any seeds will be good here)
½ cup chopped walnuts
(Pecans will work as well)
2 cups dried fruit
(I used rasins, crazins, etc. any dried fruit will work well)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a 9 x 12 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Smooth to an even thickness with a spatula.
3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned around the edges. Let cool. Use the foil to lift from the pan. Cut into 8 bars approximately 2 ½” X 4 ½”.
4. Wrap each bar in Freezer Paper or Butcher Paper and tape closed with Masking Tape.
Put the bars in a large baggie and freeze.
These bars are easy to hand out to guests that can’t stay for breakfast.
