All-Out Best Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Ingredients
2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup milled flax or wheat germ
6 tablespoons brown sugar or raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat substitute (I use pureed avocados. I have also used bananas and raw peanut butter)
1/2 dried fruit, nuts, flavored chips (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional-other flavorings work well too)
1tsp cinnamon (optional as well)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375, grease 9x13 pan. In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients. If using any type of liquid flavoring (vanilla, almond), add to apple juice. Mix apple juice and fat substitute into dry ingredients. Batter will be sticky and you might have to mix by hand in the end. *now is the time to mix in the yummies...I have made these with white choc chips and dries cherries/almond, cranberries, or even cinnamon/cloves & raw sugar. I am going to try PB & dark choc next! This recipe is so versatile... mix in what ever you want and enjoy.*
Press into pan and bake 30 minutes. COOl and cut. These store well in the fridge in plastic zip bags. Micro one of these in the afternoon with a cuppa tea...you are set!
VERY versatile and my kids love them.
Serves: 15-20
Preparation time: 10 min
