Allergen Free Breakfast Bars

As a whole my family eats very healthy. Mostly organic whole foods, cooking most things from scratch. One of the things my husband has refused to give up was his sugary breakfast cereals. He thought if he started buying organic cereals that would change my opinion. They are still full of sugar! I volunteered to get up and cook him breakfast and repeatedly told him I would precook him anything he wanted. He said breakfast bars sounded good. I found a recipe online that is sugar-dairy-gluten-soy-egg-nut free. The texture is chewy with just enough sweetness.
Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast bars
4 cups whole organic oats, 1 of those cups blended in the blender to a floury consistancy( do not skip this step, it binds the bars together)
1/4th cup flax seeds
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 tsp cinnamon
Thouroughly mix all ingredients. Press firmly into a greased 13x9 inch pan. Bake at 375 for about 30 min.
This morning I made a batch subbing banana for the apple sauce and adding some chopped almonds, dried blueberries and some shredded coconut. Yum!
