3 1/2 c quick rolled oats
1 c slivered or sliced almonds
1 egg, slightly beaten
2/3 c applesauce
1/2 c honey
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 c raw sunflower kernels
1/2 c sweetened flaked coconut
1 c dried cranberries, apples or other dried (or freeze dried fruit) or a combination
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/2 c mini m & m's if desired
Spray a 10 x 15 pan with cooking spray. Combine oats, almonds, coconut and sunflower kernels on pan. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until toasted, stirring every 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine egg, applesauce, honey, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in toasted mixture and fruit. Combine well. Stir in m & m's if desired. Press into a well sprayed 10 x 15 pan. Bake at 350 for 13 - 18 minutes. Cool completely then cut into 36 bars.
These are a favorite treat at our house. My kids now prefer these to store bought granola bars. They love them made with freeze dried raspberries.
