cooking spray
2 cups quick cooking oats
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ cup raisins/ dried cranberries/ seeds/ chopped nuts/ chocolate chips, etc.
½ cup ground flax seed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (depending on what kind of bar I'm making, I'll use more or less)
½ cup vegetable oil*
½ cup honey*
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
*sometimes I sub applesauce for some of the honey/oil- too much applesauce will make a cake-like/crumbly bar, so don't completely substitute.
- Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray.
- Combine oats, flours, brown sugar, raisins, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Combine egg, oil, honey, and vanilla in a bowl, mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
- Mix well and spread into a 9x13” baking dish.
- Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool completely, then cut into squares and place in a freezer bag.
