How to Make Reduced Fat Pecan Oat Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons powdered milk over 2 large egg whites. Beat with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in a few drops of food coloring (optional) until desired color is achieved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 1 large egg, and the egg white mixture.
- Stir in 1 cup pecan halves and 1 cup rolled oats.
- Pour the filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Loosen the edges of the bars from the pan while still warm to prevent sticking.
- Enjoy your delicious and guilt-free pecan oat bars!
