Old-Fashioned Breakfast Bars
1 jar of breakfast bar mix
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. Almond extract
Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8-1/2x4-1/2x2-1/4-inch pan with foil and
lightly grease (or spray). Remove almonds and dried fruit from jar; set
aside. Put remaining ingredients from jar into a large bowl, stirring
to remove any lumps. Add almonds, dried fruits, melted butter, egg and
almond extract. Stir until evenly combined. The dough will be moist and
crumbly. Press dough evenly into pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Cool. Lift foil and bars from pan. Remove foil. Cut into 2-inch square
bars. Makes about 8 bars.
ADD YOUR OWN CREATIVE TOUCH:
Drizzle butterscotch topping, warm orange marmalade, or warm peanut
butter over the top of the bars for a heartwarming snack as you sit around
the fire-pit on cool evenings or as a nutritious after school snack.
