Description

I created these because I wanted to feed my daughter something a little better than a granola or All-Bran bar. Now I love them!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 4 ounces, weight Apple Sauce
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Wheat Germ
  • 1 cup Quick Oats

Preparation

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add honey, vanilla, salt, apple sauce and eggs as you continue mixing. Mix in flour, wheat germ and oats.

Spread the mixture into a pre-greased pan – 8″x8″ or similar. Preheat oven to 325F. I only had a 6″x8″ glass pan so my baking time was longer. I baked mine for 60 minutes checking every 15 minutes for doneness. If you use a larger pan, the cake won’t be as thick – so you’ll probably bake for less time. Press lightly in the centre to see if it bounces back or is still squishy being careful not to dry them out.

Love this! It is my go-to snack. I added dry cranberries. Next time I may add shredded coconut. Thanks for the great recipe!
