Chewy Exercise Bars
1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 cup butter or margerine 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt 1/3 cup honey 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dates or raisins and 1/2 cup pecans, optional 1/2 cup apples, 1/2 cup walnuts, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, optional 1/2 cup dried apricots and 1/2 cup almonds, optional 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup nuts, optional
Chop up whatever you decide to flavor your bars with. Mix this with the oats, flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix together the butter, yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir this into the dry ingredients. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x12 inch pan and bake at 325 F until the top just turns brown (about 30-40 minutes). Cut when mostly cooled.
Note: These should come out fairly thin.
