I have always wanted to make my own nutri-grain bars, I found an amazing recipe. Here ya go!
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine; softened. I nuked it in the microwave for a few seconds
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup strawberry jam (you can use any kind you like)
Mix together all the try ingredients
Add the butter and almond extract
mix together until a crumbly texture
spread half of the mixture on a greased baking sheet (I lined the pan with foil and greased it, worked like a charm)
spread the jam on top
Use the remaining mixture to cover
bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I baked mine for 23 minutes.
let cool and then cut into squares. I wrapped each square in saran wrap and will freeze them.
I am going to try this recipe GF style, cannot wait :) Thanks Jen!

What a great idea! I just bought a few boxes of them for my daughter's lunches, but this would be so much better for her. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese look so YUM-O that I'm whipping them up for my Blissful Stitchers meeting on Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are sooo good and really easy. :)
DeleteWill be adding these to my frugal recipe list :) My son and husband love these bars, but it gets expensive to buy. Thanks!!!
