Time 50m

Yield 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups date sugar (or 8 oz bag date sugar)
3/4 cup rice syrup (or 1/2c agave syrup 1/4 water)
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups natural bran (I use oat bran)
10 ounces prune puree
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 egg whites
2 cups wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except egg whites and flour and soda together in a large bowl.
  • Sift the flour and soda together and add to the bowl.
  • Beat the egg whites foamy and stir in well.
  • It will take quite an effort to mix it all together well.
  • Put into a parchment lined jelly roll pan and pat down as evenly as possible.
  • Keep your hands moistened while you do this.
  • (STICKY) Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes, although you can check it at 25 minutes.
  • Cut into 18-24 bars as you wish.
  • Keeps well wrapped and refrigerated.
  • I have not tried to keep them outside of the fridge, nor in the freezer.

BREAKFAST BARS WITH OATS AND COCONUT



Breakfast Bars With Oats and Coconut image

A little like granola bars with their combination of oats, seeds, almond butter and dried cherries, these cookies - adapted from the chefs Michelle Palazzo and Peter Edris of Frenchette Bakery - have a soft and chewy texture rather than a crunchy snap. Perfect for a breakfast on the run or an afternoon nibble, they are lightly sweet and decidedly filling. At the bakery, the dough is baked into large, individual cookies, but, in this slightly simpler version, the dough is pressed into a 9-inch pan and baked into bars. (To make cookies, see the note below.)

Time 7h

Yield 18 bars

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup/180 milliliters smooth almond butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/73 grams light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1 large egg, beaten, at room temperature
1 egg white, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups/146 grams rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup/28 grams unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup/37 grams dried cherries (or another soft, plump dried fruit)
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons shelled sunflower seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons flax seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer and a large bowl, cream almond butter, granulated and brown sugars, and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add egg, egg white, salt and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated, occasionally scraping the side and bottom of bowl, about 1 minute longer.
  • Put oats in a small bowl, sift the baking soda over them, and beat into almond butter mixture. With the mixer on low speed, stir in coconut flakes, cherries and seeds until thoroughly mixed. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the dough (still in the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. (This allows the oats to hydrate.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a metal 9-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches to hang over 2 sides of the pan and use as handles later. Grease the parchment paper as well.
  • Scrape dough into the prepared baking pan. Lightly grease a large spatula and firmly press the mixture into the pan in an even layer. Bake until the surface is light golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack and allow bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to cut along the inside edges of the pan and release the bars. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift bars out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut into 18 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
