MULTIGRAIN CEREAL BARS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cereal, raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flours, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• Stir to mix thoroughly.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar and egg until blended.
• Stir in the applesauce and vanilla.
• Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended.
• Spread the batter in the pan and bake for about 30- 35 minutes or until golden brown and tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
• Let cool until lukewarm on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Combine cereal, oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and fruit in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla in a small sauce pan until warm. Do not boil.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal mixture. Mix well while syrup is still warm. I use my hands as they are the best tool for this mixing job!
• Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan.
• Pack the mixture down firmly with moist fingers or the bottom of another 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• The chocolate lover should sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips at this point and press them in firmly.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 24 bars.
• Wrap individually and store in fridge.
• I have kept these in the fridge for 2 weeks and they still taste fabulous!
