Recipe: Apple Cinnamon Bars (using oats and whole wheat flour)

APPLE CINNAMON BARS

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
About 1 1/4 cups chopped peeled apples

1/2 cup milk or soy milk
2 egg whites or 1 egg equivalent

Soak the raisins (or dried cranberries) in the apple juice concentrate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8-inch square pan with vegetable spray (or use non stick pan).

Stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Add apples and toss to coat; set aside.

Stir together milk, egg and soaked raisins and the soaking liquid. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; fold together just to evenly moisten the dry ingredients. Spread this thick batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
