Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups (560 mL) whole wheat flour
- 2-1/4 cups (560 mL) quick oats
- 3/4 cup (180 mL) raisins
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) ground flax seed
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking soda
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 3/4 cup (180 mL) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) Splenda Brand Brown Sugar Blend
- 1 cup (250 mL) unsweetened apple sauce
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) cake pan with baking spray. (Tip: Line the pan with parchment paper leaving the ends sticking out to make the uncut product easier to remove from the pan once cooled.)
- Combine the whole wheat flour, quick oats, raisins, ground flax seed, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Beat the butter and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend together in a separate bowl.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter and Splenda mixture. Continue beating until thoroughly combined.
- Combine the mixtures in the two bowls together. It will be a very thick batter.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until firm.
- Cool in the pan until room temperature.
- Cut into 16 equal bars by removing the finished product from the pan first.
