Day 7 of Oats




Fig and Walnut Energy Bars

1c. oats
1c. uncle sam creal or bran cereal
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
1c. walnut pieces
1 1/2 c. coarsely chopped stemmed dried figs
1/2 c. nonfat dry milk
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4c. honey
2 eggs

Heat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9inch baking pan. Place oats,cereal,flour,walnuts,figs,dry milk,cinnamon and ginger in food processor; coarsely chop. Add honey and eggs; pulse until well combined. Put into pan; spread evenly with your fingers. Bake until lightly browned around edges, about 20 min. Cool in pan 15 min, then cut into 16 bars. Store in airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days, or wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months.

These are very good, next though I might add more spices and maybe some dried coconut!
