Apple Breakfast Bars- FAST!

I found this recipe online, and decided to try it because it looked so easy and healthy. Scarlotte and I made them this morning and easy and healthy they are!

Apple Breakfast Bars (or snack bars!)
Good and healthy!

1 1/2 cups quick rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 orange juice (I only had apple juice and used that instead)
1 1/2 cups raw apples, shredded (about 2 medium)
cinnamon
honey

Place first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey (almost doesn't need the honey, but I added it anyway to find out later it was sweet already). Let stand 10 minutes. Press into a greased (grapeseed oil spray) 8 by 8 pan and bake at 375 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm. Freezes well.

  3. oh! Also, I got a recipe from a friend for marathon bars, which are similar to your breakfast bars. whole wheat flour, flax seeds, nuts, dried fruit, coconut milk, sweetened with honey drizzle orange juice over the top pop in the oven for like 15 min. and they are dense! thick, and they last forever! haha. last time I put in like 3 types of nuts and 3 dried fruits. haha They are fun to make, mixing with your hands and i feel good about my mom eating them. :)
