Crunchy, chewy, healthy, and portable for on the go! As an added bonus - minimal sugar and free of nuts and artificial dyes and can be easily adapted with other fruits, nuts, and flavors. This is a staple for my nut-free, artificial color-free daughter! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seeds |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 ounces applesauce |
1/3 cup honey |
1/2 cup water |
2/3 cup dark chocolate chips |
1/3 cup dried cherries |

2. 2. Lightly grease mini-muffin/tartlet pans (one 12 mini-muffin pan and one 6 mini-muffin pan).
3. 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (oats, flour, baking soda, flaxseed).
4. 4. Stir in wet ingredients (applesauce, honey, vanilla, water).
5. 5. Fold in dried cherries and chocolate chunks to taste.
6. 6. Lightly press mixture into the mini-muffin pans.
