Energizing Cereal Bars

Another great recipe from Mary the dietician.  At 132 calories, these are a great snack, and much healthier (and more delicious) than your run of the mill pre-packaged bar.  I didn't know how to make them look appetizing in a photo.  Promise, they are tasty!

1-2/3 c. cereal (any bran flake-- I used Special K)
1 c. chopped dates (You could substitute or add any dried fruit such as golden raisins-- chopped or apricots.  Note that a lot of these have added sugar, which equals extra calories.)
1/4 c. brown sugar
2 T. honey
1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
4 T. canola oil
1 t. vanilla
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1-2 t ground cinnamon
dash of salt
1 egg

Line 13x9 pan with foil and spray.
Combine dry ingredients.  Mix in wet ingredients.  Spread in lined pan.   Bake at 325 for 20-25 min, until edges are browned.  Cool completely and cut into 16 bars.  Can be wrapped individually and stored or frozen.  (I enjoy eating them frozen)
