Sugar Free Granola Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 2/3 cups large flake oats
    1/3 cup oat bran
    1/3 whole wheat flour (2/3 cup will result in a cakier bar)
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    4 tablespoons melted butter
    6 -8 tablespoons honey
    3/4 cup pureed canned pineapple, juice removed or 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 egg
    optional add ins
    unsweetened flaked coconut (optional)
    sesame seeds (optional)
    sunflower seeds (optional)
    raisins (optional)
    flax seed meal (optional)
    powdered milk (optional)
    chocolate chips (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375.
    Whisk the dry ingredients together well.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, honey, pineapple puree, vanilla, and egg.
    Stir in any of the optional add ins--if you add a lot you may need to stir in a bit more liquid to bind it.
    Spray oil a 9 x 13 inch baking pan (smaller if you want thicker bars). Bake for 20 mins, score the bars and bake for 5 mins more, or until brown.
