Power Bars
List of Ingredients
Makes 25 bars
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries*
1 cup chopped pecans*Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, salt, baking soda, and oats; mix well. Stir in the cranberries and pecans.
Spread the mixture over the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then cut into bars and serve.
*If you have a favorite combination of dried fruit and nuts, like raisins and peanuts or dried cherries and walnuts, go ahead and substitute them for the cranberries and pecans in here.
