Apricot-Almond Energy Bars - oats

Method

• I have substituted in bran, wheat germ, ground flax and whole wheat flour.
• I used chopped dates instead of apricots.
• My husband's allergy has led me to use coconut, cashews or peanuts instead of almonds.
• Currants or cranberries can be used instead of raisins.
• Just as long as the recipe equals out mathematically, I have never had this recipe flop on me.
• Mix dry ingredients together.
• Mix wet ingredients together.
• Stir into oat mixture until evenly combined.
• Press firmly into 9" square pan.
• Bake at 350 deg for 20 minutes (or until browned).
• Let cool.
• Cut into bars.
• Store in tightly covered container or wrap individually with plastic.
• Easy to freeze.
