- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unpacked light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup very mashed banana (about 1 medium)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Method
- Procedure
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9x13 glass dish, and line it with parchment paper.
- 2. Toast the almonds in the oven or on the stovetop. Set aside to cool a bit.
- 3. In a large bowl, combine oats, sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, flour, cranberries, almonds, and salt. In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk honey, egg whites, oil, banana, and vanilla together until well combined. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and pour the honey mixture into the well.
- 4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients with your hands until everything is moistened and mostly holding together in a loose ball. Flip the mixture onto the baking dish and pat into one giant rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- 5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into squares.
- Author's note: Do not let the mega-bar cool entirely, or it will be impossible to cut.
