Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars.

Tried this and it’s yummy. I used an 8×8 pan though. I can’t seem to find a 9×9 anywhere.

Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars
Ingredients
* 1.5 cups rolled oats
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts [or any nuts you like]
* 1/2 cup dried fruit (any you like – raisins, cranberries, dates, figs)
* 1/4 cup seeds (any you like – sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame)
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp kosher salt
* 1.25 cups skim milk
* 1 egg
* 1 tsp vanilla

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350*
2. Mix dry ingredients.
3. Mix wet ingredients.
4. Pour wet into dry. Stir to combine.
5. Pour into a 9×9 baking dish either coated in cooking spray or lined with parchment.
6. Bake for 40 minutes.
7. Cut into 9 squares.

Makes 9 servings . Each bar is appx. 170 calories, 3 grams fiber and 5 grams protein. [Cut into 12 squares reduces calories to about 125 calories per square]

While delicious, the only sweetness in these comes from the dried fruit. Add in 1/4 – 1/2 cup brown sugar if you like.

The variations are endless: cranberries, coconut, all kinds of dried fruit, nuts, etc.

The ingredients.

I had to go to 3 different groceries just to complete the ingredients. And I still didn’t have the sunflower seeds. Same as what happened when I accompanied a cousin to look for school girl costume for adults in the mall. We had to go to several malls to find one.

All mixed up.
