Breakfast Bar Recipe


Here's a basic recipe that you can add your favorite fruits or nuts to. My mom used to make something like this for me when I was a preschooler. They're easy to make, and I feel good about eating them. As for the bananas: I frequently peel and freeze bananas that are getting too brown, and then thaw them in the microwave for recipes like this.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup soft butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3 medium mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup raw, quick-cooking oats
1-2 cup (total) chopped nuts, dried fruit, and fresh fruit (optional)

Combine all the ingredients, pour into a 9X13" pan and bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
