Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup soy flour
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
1/2 cup oil or 1/2 cup butter

Steps:

  • Directions, Oven at 350 degrees, have a baking pan ready.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together, add the oil and apple sauce and mix.
  • Separate about 2 cups of the mixture. Put the mixture into a pan or two - we used 1 14"x12" pan. You can grease the sides of the pan, but it isn't necessary on the bottom.
  • You want to pack the mixture down and have it be about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread on the preserves and then crumble the remaining dry mixture on the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • Let cool 10+ minutes and enjoy.
  • Oats & whole wheat are good for fiber, the soy adds some protein, and the apple sauce is a good partial substitute for oil/butter, keeping it pretty moist.

SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL BARS



SOFT & CHEWY OATMEAL BARS image

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 + 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (divided)
1/2 cup cereal divided (I used cheerios)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used half white and half milk chocolate chips)
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (can use wheat flour too)
1/4 cup neutral tasting oil
5 tbsp honey
1/4 cup brown rice syrup*
1/4 cup cereal (like cheerios)
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
*can replace with maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper and set aside. Place 3/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup of cereal, chocolate chips and raisin in a food processor. Pulse a few times to break up the ingredients. Don't go crazy or you'll change the consistency of your bar. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the baking soda, salt, vanilla, flour, oil, honey, and brown rice syrup. Mix just until combined. The mixture will form a soft dough that resembles a cookie dough in texture. Fold in the remaining 1/4 cup of oats and 1/4 cup of cereal until combined. Lightly press this mixture into the prepared 9×9 pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the bars are lightly browned on top. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Cut into bars, serve and enjoy!
