Breakfast bar recipe

[mamaluvs]

My DD often enjoys eating a breakfast bar in the morning. I'd love to make a healthy, tasty homemade version rather than continue buying them in stores. Anyone have a good recipe? Preferably, one that freezes well. Thanks!

Here is a recipe for breakfast cookies. It makes 5 doz. and can be frozen. I haven't tried them, but let me know if you do. They are from Zonya Foco's Likety-Split Meals.

Oven to 375 & coat nonstick cookie sheets with cooking spray.

1 cup oat bran & 3/4 cup orange juice. Mix together in a small bowl and set aside to soak for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile . . .
1 cup + 1 Tbl. applesauce, unsweetened, 2 Tbl. canola oil, 1 cup honey, 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar, 3 lg. eggs, 1 1/2 Tbl. vanilla extract, 1 Tbl. grated orange rind or 2 tsp. orange extract. Combine in large bowl, using an electric mixer, until smooth.

3 cups whole-wheat pastry flour (or 1 1/2 c whole-wheat and 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour), 1 Tbl. baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Measure into a sifter and sift over applesauce mixture.

1 cup nonfat dry milk, 2 1/2 cups oats (quick or old-fashioned), 1 cup nuts, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup ground flax seed (opt). Add the soaked oat brand and remaining ingredients to the large bowl and mix thoroughly with a strong wooden spoon. Drop by slightly heaping tablespoons 1" apart.

Bake until lightly browned or 12 to 14 min. at 375.
