Recipe Introduction


Try this simple recipe, using whatever dried fruit you prefer (cranberries, blueberries, apricots), cinnamon instead of nutmeg or peanut butter instead of almond butter. You could even add chocolate chips, but do finish them with a healthy sprinkle of ground flaxseed!





List of Ingredients



• Natural spray oil for pan
  
• 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  
• 1/3 cup 365 Everyday Value Smooth Almond Butter
  
• 1 cup dried sour cherries, or a mix of cherries and raisins
  
• 1/2 cup orange juice
  
• 1/3 cup 365 Everyday Value Wildflower Honey
  
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 3 egg whites
  
• 2 tablespoons 365 Everyday Value Organic Finely Ground Flaxseed
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray an 8-inch square pan with oil; set aside.
   
2. Mix together oats, almond butter, cherries, orange juice, honey, nutmeg, salt and egg whites in a bowl; press firmly into pan.
   
3. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 35 minutes.
   
4. Let cool 5 minutes, sprinkle flaxseed over the top, let cool completely, cut into bars and serve.
