List of Ingredients




1/2 large ripe banana, cut up
1 cup chunky tomato salsa
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 cup butter OR margarine, softened
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup coarsely crumbled gingersnap cookies
1 cup quick-cooking oats


Recipe



PREHEAT oven to 350F. Place banana, salsa, cornstarch and preserves in food processor bowl. Cover and pulse 30 seconds or until smooth.

BEAT butter, allspice, sugar and vanilla in mixing bowl until fluffy, using electric mixer at medium speed. Add flour, cookie crumbs and oats and mix until crumbs form.

PRESS all but 1/3 cup of the crumb mixture into 13"x 9" baking pan. Top with salsa mixture. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

BAKE for 40 min. or until brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 24.

Note from contributor: These bars are not too sweet
and definitely taste different. Actually after you get over the
initial shock, they're kind of addictive.
