Homemade Energy Bars Recipe #2

I found this recipe online at http://www.recumbent-bikes-truth-for-you.com/recipes.html with 15 other homemade energy bar recipes. This is my version of their recipe...

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oatmeal
• ¾ c. wheat germ
• ¼ c. flax seed
• (Can substitute the wheat germ and flax seed with other whole grains or more oatmeal)
• ½ c. raisins
• ½ c. snipped (1/2-inch pieces) pitted prunes
• ½ c dried apples
• ½ c. coarsely chopped (unblanched) almonds
• ¼ c. unsalted sunflower seeds
• ¼ c. pumpkin seeds
• ¾ c. rye flour
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. b. soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. olive oil
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• large egg
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 T. vanilla

Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cereal, raisins, prunes, almonds, sunflower seeds, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, brown sugar and egg until blended. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until blended. Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool until lukewarm on a wire rack before cutting into bars. About 24 bars.
