This easy low-fat oatmeal bar can be altered depending on what you want to put in it. Adding 1/2 C diced apples, some raisins, or other dried fruits changes the taste, but the bars are even good without the added ingredients. Read more . I've made them using Splenda in place of the white sugar before - works just fine.
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 egg white
3/4 cup sugar (can use splenda)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup diced apples, raisins, or dried fruit (optional)
Directions:
1. Coat a 13 X 9 baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. Mix the egg, egg white, sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add the oil and vanilla; mix 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just blended. Add oats and incorporate.
5. Mix in extra ingredients (apples, raisins, etc) with a fork.
6. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan; press into pan with wet fingers.
7. Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan.
