How to Make Whole Wheat Energy Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup rice syrup, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, or a mix) and 1/2 cup chopped almonds.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a rubber spatula.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan for at least 10 minutes before inverting onto a cutting board.
  11. Remove the foil and cut the bars into 9 equal squares (3 rows of 3).
  12. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
