Another recipe from a Cooking Light magazine that we find to our liking. Extra bars keep well in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. But, in our house, they weren't around that long!! Ingredients:
2 teaspoons flour |
2/3 cup flour (about 3 ounces white flour) |
1/3 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 tablespoons milk (i used 2% but the recipe called for fat-free) |
2 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups whole grain granola cereal |
3/4 cup chopped dried mixed tropical fruit |
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 250.
2. Coat a 9X13 metal baking pan with cooking spray.
3. Dust with the 2 tsp all purpose white flour.
4. Measure the 2/3 c white flour and the whole wheat flour into a bowl with the baking powdeer and salt.
5. Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients (through eggs) into a large bowl and beat with mixer on high speed until smooth.
6. Add flour mixture beating at low speed until blended.
7. Fold in granola and chopped fruit.
8. Spoon batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with coconut.
9. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden.
10. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack then cut into bars.
