Posted by Tammi | Filed under recipes, week 2
Morning Glory Breakfast Bar
Recipe taken from the 2010 Milk Calendar. I omitted the pineapple and instead used more yogurt (which WAS fat-free). I also added more cinnamon because I love cinnamon :-)
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of All Bran cereal
1-1/2 cups shredded carrot (about 3)
1 cup of milk
3/4 cup drained crushed pineapple
1/2 cup of yogurt (not fat-free)
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup liquid honey
METHOD
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Line a 13×9 pan with foil, leaving a 2 inch overhang at each end. Lightly butter foil.
In a bowl, combine bran cereal, carrots, milk, pineapple and yogurt: let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Whisk egg and honey into milk mixture. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Spread into prepared pan, smoothing top.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until tester inserted into centre comes out clean.
Let cool completely in pan on rack.
Using foil overhang as handles, remove from pan and cut into 12 bars (approximately 4 inches x 3 inches each).
COOKING TIP
Bars can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap then frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or in the microwave on Defrost (30%) for about 1 minute per bar.
