Found these on a Canadian cooking site. I love the combination of fruit and oats and wanted to keep this in a safe place for use later. Ingredients:
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 banana |
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1 cup apple, peeled, diced 1/2 inch |
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed |
1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup currants |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1 1/2 cups oatmeal, any variety, uncooked |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, combine oranges, banana, apples, raisins, orange juice, and 1 tsp of the ground cinnamon; set aside.
3. Beat together margarine, applesauce and brown sugar until creamy. Add flour, oatmeal and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, to the sugar mixture; mix well.
4. Measure out 1 1/4 cups of the batter and reserve for topping. Lightly press the remaining oat mixture onto bottom of ungreased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake 15 minutes.
5. Remove from oven; spread fruit mixture evenly over crust to within 1/4 of the edges. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over fruit, patting gently. Bake 16-20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Cool completely; cut into bars.
7. Store loosely covered.
