I make these a LOT .. varying them each time. Once I spread alayer, topped with fruit-only spread, then more of the bar mix .. and have used many combinations of spices, extracts, tetc. They are, to ME, satisfying when looking for a low-fat alternative to granola bars and eat-on-the-run breakfast or snack kinds of things. I did *not* like them when first out of the oven .. they need to sit and firm, for my taste, and are better cold, after a day or so when they're dry and really a bar. They are a great carrier for any sweet-type of flavoryou are craving. - Janet - GRAPE NUTS BARSSource: "The Healthy Heart Handbook" by Neal Pinckney (Janet: I also saw this in an Ornish cookbook .. may be the original source) 3 cups Grape Nuts cereal (homemade recipe below, not from Pinckney) 1 cup non-fat Soy Moo (or any low fat soy or rice milk) (or cow's milk) 1 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup raisins 2 tsp vanilla extractPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a non-stick 9" square baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until firm. Cool and cut into squares. Serves: 12 You can add other extracts or spices such as: 1/2 - 1 tsp. or combination of: coconut, banana, almond extracts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, clove, lemon and orange peel. 2/23/97 - I added almond and coconut extracts (1 t. each), lemon peel, juice of 1/2 lemon and about 3 T. coconut reminiscent of Angel Bars in Joy of Cooking .. still a little too soft in the center at 35" .. 5-10 more... now cooling .. we'll see ;) ... LOVE these after they've cooled .. and even more days later, wrapped and firm from the fridge)These freeze well and travel well! Per square: Calories 164; Fat 0.41 g.
