These are very healthy. When I make them I usually eat a large square for breakfast, and then eat a few squares every few hours as snacks. They actually taste like dessert, but they're healthy enough to eat for a meal. This is a revised recipe that I got from the back of Seven in the Morning cereal. Ingredients:
1 cup grape-nuts cereal or 1 cup seven in the morning cereal |
3/4 cup oats (i use old-fashioned, but quick oats would work) |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seeds |
1 1/2 tablespoons wheat germ |
1/3 cup pecans or 1/3 cup walnut pieces |
1/4 cup mini chocolate chip (i use a little less) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
6 ounces nonfat yogurt (plain or flavored) |
1 large egg |
1 egg white |
1/2 cup applesauce (1/3 cup olive oil can be used instead) |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients through the cinnamon (cereal, oats, whole wheat flour, flax seeds, wheat germ, nuts, chocolate chips, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon) in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Pour into lightly sprayed 13x9 dish.
4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
