Ingredients
- 6 mixed fruit (dried diced)
- 1 1/2 oatmeal (uncooked)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine 1 1/2 cups oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, soda and salt. Combine juice, oil, egg and vanilla and add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in fruit. Spread into a 13x9 inch pan that has been sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining oats. Bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes or until lightly browned and edges pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Store tightly covered. (Bars may also be frozen in individual bags. Thaw at room temperature or microwave on high for 30 seconds per bar.) Makes 20 bars. Note: I have used dried pineapple in place of the dried mixed fruit for a variation.
