Oat, Fruit, and Nut Bars<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/div>\n
1\/2 c. honey<\/div>\n
1\/2 c. creamy peanut butter (I used natural)<\/div>\n
2 T. maple syrup (I would suggest real maple syrup)<\/div>\n
1 T. canola oil<\/div>\n
1\/4 c. brown sugar<\/div>\n
1\/4 t. cinnamon<\/div>\n
1 t. vanilla extract<\/div>\n
2 c. oats<\/div>\n
2 c. crisp brown rice cereal (I used puffed wheat)<\/div>\n
1\/4 c. toasted wheat germ (I didn\u2019t use this)<\/div>\n
1\/2 c. chopped nuts (I used almonds)<\/div>\n
1\/2 c. chopped dried apricots<\/div>\n
1\/2 t. salt<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1) Combine honey, peanut butter, maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat just until bubbling, about 3-5 minutes, and remove from heat.<\/div>\n
2) Stir in the vanilla<\/div>\n
3) Combine oats, cereal, wheat germ, chopped nuts, chopped apricots, and salt in another bowl.<\/div>\n
4) Pour peanut butter mixture over oat mixture and combine well with a spatula, making sure that all dry ingredients are coated.<\/div>\n
5) Spray a 9 x 13\u2033 dish with nonstick cooking spray, and spread the mixture into the dish<\/div>\n
6) Use wax paper to press the mixture down firmly<\/div>\n
7) Cool, and then cut as desired<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The estimated cost for making this entire recipe is $2.50 \u2013 $3.00, depending on what type of nuts you use. Not bad, considering these are natural and very delicious!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Quick tip: I sprayed the measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray before measuring the peanut butter and honey, and they slid right out of the cup instead of sticking!<\/div>\n
