Whiteley Creek Homestead

My grandkids are visiting from New York. Four things absolutely must take place at this Nana's/Nanny's house… bedtime reading, baking, outdoor exploration, and sewing. I had the reading covered by checking out 26 books from the public library. Baking..well, today, O'Malley and I made these Applenut Flax Bars.

 
They are really easy, nutritious, and a wonderfully tasty snack.

Applenut Flax Bars

1 cup old-fashioned (not instant) oats

4 large medjool dates, pitted and chopped

1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped

½ cup raisins

½ cup Brazil nuts, chopped

¼ cup milk (or nut or seed milk)

2 tbsp ground flax seeds

2 tbsp raw (not roasted) nut butter (e.g., peanut, almond, cashew)

Preheat oven to 300°. Mix all ingredients together and press into a 9X9 glass baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
