Combine oats, coconut, honey and nuts to make low-fat breakfast bars.
With today's busy lifestyle, breakfast on-the-go can be a regular occurrence. Drive-thru and pre-packaged foods are often loaded with fat and preservatives, so give low-fat, homemade breakfast bars a try. The ingredients can be easily adapted to suit all tastes and leftovers freeze well, so a quick and nutritious breakfast is always an option.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and use the cooking spray to lightly grease the 9"x13" pan.
2. Pour the oats, flour, baking soda, sugar and flax seeds into the mixing bowl, and mix lightly with the wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
3. Add the vanilla extract, applesauce and honey to the mixing bowl, and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the coconut and mixed nuts, and fold the mixture gently to combine all of the ingredients.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared 9"x13" pan, and press the mixture down into the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
5. Allow the bars to cool for 10 minutes, and cut into bars. Allow the bars to cool completely before serving.
