Great finger food for kids or adults, and especially suitable for anyone with food allergies since there is no wheat or milk in the recipe.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats, uncooked
1 cup oat flour (can be made by pulverising rolled oats in a blender or food processor)
1 cup packed currant or raisins or chopped prune or other dried fruit
1 cup apple juice or orange juice (you could also use 1/4 cup molasses and 3/4 cup water)
1/4 cup white sugar or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sesame seed or nuts, pieces

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Grease a 9 inch by 13 inch pan, or two 8 inch by 8 inch pans.
3
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well.
4
It should be moist enough to form a ball, without extra liquid.
5
Put mixture in prepared pans and spread evenly.
6
Bake for 30 minutes.
7
Remove from oven and cut into squares while still hot.
8
Wait until the bars cool before trying to remove them from the pan.
9
One tip: if the fruit is hard, soak it with a bit of water before starting to make this recipe because the fruit doesn't soften much in baking.

These were really good. I used prunes and prune juice, and honey instead of sugar. Walnut oil versus vegetable oil. sunflower seeds instead. And wheat flour instead. I think I could have used less flour and more fruit and nuts.

These are really good, good for you, and they have a great texture. My son could have eaten half the batch! The recipe can be played around with and it still turns out wonderfully. I didn't have juice so subbed with applesauce and water and used olive oil instead of vegetable. Great recipe I'll be making often.

I made these for my Baci over Thanksgiving. I adapted it to fit her diabetic needs: subbed sugar-free maple syrup for the molasses mixture, subbed unsweetened applesauce for the oil (to lower fat content), used Splenda (which is GOD lol), and I didn't have enough rolled oats to make all of the called oat flour, so I added some all-purpose to complete the full cup. I used various dried fruits: raisins, cranberries, papayas, and apricots. Baci raved! So did my little cousin! Alas, I did not try them, but I will speak for her by giving this recipe (and the fact that it's easily adaptable and easy to make in general) 5 stars! - they also smelled darn good even while just MIXING!

Super easy to make and DELICIOUS!!!! I made the following substitutions/changes and they were still delicious. Instead of the oil, I used 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce. For my dried fruit, I packed 1 cup full of dried cherries, cranberries and blueberries. For the nutty taste, I added 1/4 c. sunflower seeds and 1/4 cup seasame seeds (my daughter has nut allergies) and added some coconut. Lastly, I only used 3/4 cup apple juice. They smelled yummy while cooking and I couldn't wait to try one when they were done. I think my 2 year old will LOVE them, I know I do. No more buying oatmeal bars from the store. Thanks!
