New favorite breakfast


I make these, cut them into small chunks, freeze half and keep the other half in the fridge. You'll never want anything else for breakfast or a quick power snack after eating these.


2 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup ground flax seed
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t cinnamon
½ t allspice
½ t cardamom
½ cup (1 stick) butter - room temperature
½ cup natural cane sugar (I use a little less and its still great)
2 eggs
½ cup honey
¼ cup carob syrup
1 t vanilla extract
1 small apple, peeled and chopped
½ cup raisins or dried cranberries
½ cup chopped dates or figs
1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
Sunflower seeds - a good handful
1 cup coconut
3 cups old fashioned organic oats
1/4 cup applesauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°.
Stir together dry ingredients (flour, salt, flax seed, baking soda and spices).
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugars. Add in honey, eggs and vanilla. Slowly add in dry mixture and beat together. Stir in oats, applesauce, coconut, fruit and nuts.
Spread in a lightly oiled 9x12 glass casserole dish.
Bake 30 minutes at 350 or until lightly browned.
