The biggest problem I had while making these is that I kept wanting to eat the batter, though I'm glad I saved some for cooking. Note: they hold up better overnight and stay moist if they are slightly undercooked. They have no egg, and can be made with non-dairy margarine for those with dietary restrictions. Ingredients:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, melted |
2/3 cup applesauce |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal |
1 -1 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (juice drained and set aside) |
additional pineapple juice, as needed |
2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the pineapple) |
1 cup confectionars sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 6 ingredients until well mixed.
2. If it gets too thick, add a little bit of pinapple juice.
3. Add the pineapple mix until well combined (use more juice as needed).
4. Pour into a greased pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
5. Take them out of the oven before the top starts to brown.
6. They will stay moist longer if they are slightly undercooked.
7. Cool.
8. Combine powdered sugar with pineapple juice and spread on top of bars.
