As part of a national media tour, I chatted yesterday with a number of morning show hosts, including CW’s Jennifer Johnson, on comfort food tips to beat the winter blues.
In this segment, we’re discussing healthy, quick snacks, desserts plus my 7-minute salmon recipe.
Where can I find the recipe for the granola bars? I searched the Skinny Chef website and Sunsweet.com, but could not find it. Thanks!
Hi Marianne, so sorry about that! Here’s the recipe:
Homemade Granola Bars
Makes 8 bars
Non-stick spray
2 tablespoons low fat peanut butter
3 egg whites
1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
1/12 cup rolled oats
¼ cup prunes, chopped
2 tablespoon ground flax
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 8X8 baking tray with aluminum foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine the peanut butter, egg whites, molasses. Mash the peanut butter into the eggs and molasses with the back of a spoon until a smooth mixture forms.
Add the oats, prunes, flax, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well and transfer to the baking dish. Press into an even layer with a rubber spatula. Coat the top with a light coating of non-stick spray. and spread out into an even layer. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until the oats are golden and firm. Cool completely before cutting into 8 bars.
