How to Make High Fiber Energy Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Combine 1 cup pitted prunes and 1/2 cup orange juice in a blender. Blend until almost smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Set the prune mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened margarine, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup honey until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread slightly less than half of the flour mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Spread the prune mixture evenly over the flour mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch of space from the edges.
- Crumble the remaining flour mixture over the prune layer.
- Gently pat down the top layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 1x2 inch bars.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
