Ready in: 30-60 minutes
Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)
Serves/Makes: 4 dozen
Ingredients:
2 cups dried prunes -- pitted
2/3 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup margarine -- soft
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Combine prunes (and apricots if using) with the orange juice in a blender. Blend until almost smooth, scrapping down the sides of the blender a few times. Stir in the nuts; set mixture aside.
In a large bowl, cream the margarine, sugar and honey. Beat in the egg. Mix in flour, oats, wheat germ, baking soda and salt to blend thoroughly.
Grease a 9 X 13-inch baking pan. Spread a little less than half of the flour mixture evenly in the pan. Spread the prune mixture evenly over the mixture in pan, keeping the prune mixture to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Crumble the remaining flour mixture over the top to cover the prune mixture. Pat down gently.
Bake in a preheated 350: oven 30-35 minutes or until browned and springs back to the touch. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars about 1 x 2-inches each.
NOTE: * Substitute 1/2 cup dried apricots for half of the prunes if desired. Fiber content will remain about the same.
