Breakfast bars
Ingredients
-
Pecans, 1 cup, chopped
Almonds, 1 cup, sliced
Apricots, dried, 1/2 cup, halves
Figs, dried, 1 cup
Oats, 1 1/2 cups
Raisins, 1/2 cups, packed
Unsweetened Brown Rice Cereal, 1 1/2 cup (puffed)
Egg Whites, 3 serving
Maple syrup or Honey, 1/4 cup
Cinnamon, ground, 1/2 tsp
Salt, 1/4 tsp
Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly mist a 13×9 baking with cooking spray. I use parchment paper no spray.
Combine pecans, almonds, apricots and figs in a food processor. Lightly pulse until chopped. Transfer pecan mixture to a large mixing bowl; add oats, raisins, and cereal.
In a separate bowl, combine egg whites, syrups or honey, cinnamon, salt and vanilla, stirring well. Add to pecan mixture, mixing well.
Spread mixture into prepared pan, pressing down gently. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool 15-30 minutes before slicing into 3×3 inch bars.
(I use parchment paper in the pan and press it down firmly with an additional piece)
Number of Servings: 24
