Superbars

1 c. whole wheat flour
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 T ground flax, or wheat germ
1t ground cinnamon
3/4 t salt
2/3 c. of raisins (or any dried fruit)
1/4 c. of molasses or honey or maple syrup
1/2 c. applesauce
1/4 c. veg. oil
1 egg slightly beaten
1 T vanilla extract
1/2 c sliced almonds or other nuts
optional mix-ins choc. chips, coconut, etc.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the oats, flour, sugar, flax seed, cinnamon, salt and raisins. In a separate bowl , mix the molasses, applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix well then add the nuts.

On a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper or well greased. spread mixture in a uniform shape with a spatula or hands like i prefer. Make sure they are uniform so they cook evenly. Bake 25-27 mins. or until they seem firm. Remove from oven and cut immediately into bars.
