Breakfast Bars..

I have been wanting to make breakfast / cereal bars for sometime now. I saw the WBB for healthy eats and thought what better time to make this one than now!! This is more of a breakfast cake bar..not just a breakfast bar!! :) Its got fruits, nuts, oatmeal... so its super healthy and yeah tasty too!! i got the original recipe from here...this one has slight modifications.

1 1/2 cup flour

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 stick butter, unsalted

1 egg

2 medium bananas, mashed

2 small apples, peeled and grated

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1/4 cup milk

a handful of chopped almonds and raisins, or any other nuts or dried fruits of your choice

Fresh out of the oven ( makes about 12 bars!!)

Preheat the oven to 425 deg F and prepare the baking pan. Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and the cinnamon. In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and butter till light and fluffy. Add the mashed bananas and grated apples to it. Add in the vanilla as well. Now stir in this mixture to the dry ingredients mix and add the oatmeal as well. Add the milk and stir well. Finally, add the nuts and dried fruits and bake for about 25 mins.

I am sending this over to the WBB - Healthy Eats event at Tasty Palettes.
