Healthy Chocolate Nut Squares image

These are very healthy. When I make them I usually eat a large square for breakfast, and then eat a few squares every few hours as snacks. They actually taste like dessert, but they're healthy enough to eat for a meal. This is a revised recipe that I got from the back of Seven in the Morning cereal.

Time 35m

Yield 16 squares, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup Grape-nuts cereal or 1 cup seven in the morning cereal
3/4 cup oats (I use old-fashioned, but quick oats would work)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons wheat germ
1/3 cup pecans or 1/3 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip (I use a little less)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
6 ounces nonfat yogurt (plain or flavored)
1 large egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup applesauce (1/3 cup olive oil can be used instead)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients through the cinnamon (cereal, oats, whole wheat flour, flax seeds, wheat germ, nuts, chocolate chips, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour into lightly sprayed 13x9 dish.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
