FRUIT-FILLED OATMEAL BARS
Hearty, yummy, and even fairly healthy (if you want it to be!). These are not like granola bars but more like a brownie with a nice crust. Originally taken from BH&G "New Cook Book", 1989--now that I live overseas, I love these older cookbooks because so many of the recipes are still "from scratch" and don't use convenience products that are too expensive or haven't come here yet. Thanks to my Grams for sending it to me when I moved! :)

Steps:
- In mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda.
- Cut in margarine/butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the flour mixture.
- Press remaining flour mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x9x2 baking pan.
- Spread with desired filling.
- Sprinkle with reserved flour mixture.
- Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden.
- Cool in pan on wire rack.
- Cut into bars.
- FILLING OPTIONS:.
- ***Following cookbook's 'shortcut' suggestion of substituting 10 oz jar of preserves in place of homemade filling, I used a store-bought, very dense, low-moisture apple butter (like a thick jam). I have also tried it with blueberry preserves but the preserves were too moist--it made the bars sticky not good.***.
- RAISIN FILLING:.
- In medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Add 1 cup raisins. Cook & stir until thickened & bubbly.
- APPLE-CINNAMON FILLING:.
- Peel/core/chop 2 medium apples. In medium saucepan, combine apples, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a dash of ground cloves. Bring apple mixture to a boil; reduce heat & simmer 8-10 minutes or until apples are very tender.
- APRICOT-COCONUT FILLING:.
- In medium saucepan, combine 1 cup diced dried apricots and 3/4 cup water. Bring apricot mixture to boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon all purpose flour. Stir into apricot mixture. Cook and stir 1 minute more or until mixture is very thick. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut.

- Mix together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and allspice in a separate bowl. Gradually pour flour mixture into the butter mixture; blend well.

Steps:
- Directions, Oven at 350 degrees, have a baking pan ready.
- Mix the dry ingredients together, add the oil and apple sauce and mix.
- Separate about 2 cups of the mixture. Put the mixture into a pan or two - we used 1 14"x12" pan. You can grease the sides of the pan, but it isn't necessary on the bottom.
- You want to pack the mixture down and have it be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread on the preserves and then crumble the remaining dry mixture on the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Let cool 10+ minutes and enjoy.
- Oats & whole wheat are good for fiber, the soy adds some protein, and the apple sauce is a good partial substitute for oil/butter, keeping it pretty moist.

CHEWY FRUIT AND OATMEAL BARS (BREAKFAST ON THE GO!)
I took this out of my latest Easy Home Cooking magazine. It's a Quaker oatmeal recipe. I have been looking for an easy breakfast for my two little ones and this looks like a winner. I think any low fat yogurt would do nicely depending on the fruit you choose. Can't wait to try it!
