Chewy Oatmeal Fruit Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup soy flour
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
1/2 cup oil or 1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup apricot preserves or 1 cup your favorite preserves
1/4 cup nuts (optional) or 1/4 cup coconut (optional)

Preparation

Directions, Oven at 350 degrees, have a baking pan ready.
Mix the dry ingredients together, add the oil and apple sauce and mix.
Separate about 2 cups of the mixture. Put the mixture into a pan or two - we used 1 14\"x12\" pan. You can grease the sides of the pan, but it isn't necessary on the bottom.
You want to pack the mixture down and have it be about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread on the preserves and then crumble the remaining dry mixture on the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Let cool 10+ minutes and enjoy.
Oats & whole wheat are good for fiber, the soy adds some protein, and the apple sauce is a good partial substitute for oil/butter, keeping it pretty moist.
