Welcome to Foodie Friday!Today, I'm sharing a family favorite recipe for Low Fat Chewy Fruit & Oatmeal Bars. The bars are so delicious and disappear in a flash!
(click on picture to enlarge.)- Ingredients
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- One 8-ounce container vanilla or plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. skim milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
- 3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
- 1 cup diced dried mixed fruit, raisins, or dried cranberries
Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine sugars, yogurt, egg whites, oil, milk, and vanilla; mix well. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Add to yogurt mixture; mix well. Stir in oats and fruit.
Spread dough onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack. Cut into bars. Store tightly covered.

Homemade granola bars are so much better than store bought. Thanks so much for passing on the recipe!
These look great... can't wait to give the recipe a try. Thanks for sharing it!

The little bed is cute, isn't it? I just bet your kitty would love to have one...your dogs, too☺ I would have to use a coffee table if I wanted to make one for my dogs...uhm, that's an idea...cool☺
I could probably eat the whole thing!
My Grandaughter needed something for a bake sale this weekend...these would be great for that.
May you have a great memorial weekend my friend...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
These sound really good. I may make them and use them for "breakfast on the go". Gotta be better than prepackaged oatmeal or granola bars. Thanks for the recipe. Kathy
