Muesli Bars
Ground flaxseed meal mixed with water acts as a binder and egg replacer in these moist, cholesterol-free breakfast bars.
Ingredients:
Oil for Greasing the Pan
1/4 cup Honey
3 Tbsp Orange Juice Concentrate
2 Tbsp Walnut or Canola Oil
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon, Saigon (Premium)
1 1/2 cups Muesli-Old Country Style
1/2 cup Oat Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/3 cup Cranberries
3 Tbsp Brown Flaxseeds Meal
2 tsp Orange Zest
Preparation:
Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350° F. Lightly oil an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a 3-quart pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and blend in the honey, orange juice concentrate, oil, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the muesli, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and dried cranberries.
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup water until the mixture becomes thick, gummy, and slightly frothy (use a fork to vigorously stir as if you were beating egg whites). Fold the flax-seed mixture and orange zest into the muesli until well blended.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and even off the top. Bake uncovered until the sides and bottom are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
Set the pan on a rack. When cooled to room temperature, cut into bars. If you wish, wrap individual bars in plastic or waxed paper for breakfast to go. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days. (Does not freeze well). Makes 12 bars.
