Breakfast Bars

After reading all the ingredients in "breakfast bars"....way too much refined sugar and other "stuff" I once again decided...make my own!
I came across a recipe earlier this week for these and they sounded good.
I do all my baking, etc. on the weekends. I made a batch this morning along with a loaf of bread and a batch of cookies. Tomorrow I will make yogurt and muffins.
I sampled the finished product are they are quite tasty. They will be perfect with a glass of lactose free milk for my breakfasts next week.

Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
3 cups regular (not quick) oats
1/2 cup protein powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup pumpkin, sunflower, etc seeds or a combination

Mix all together except the fruit, nuts and seeds.....then stir them in.
Spread the mixture into a 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-35 min. Cool and cut into desired serving size.

This is a basic recipe that can be adjusted to your likes and or dislikes.
You may want to change the fruit...try dried apricots for example. You can always make different varieties by changing the types of nuts, protein powders, adding a little cocoa...whatever your little (thankful) heart desires.
