Fruit & Oat Granola Bars

I like a quick & healthy breakfast during the week before I go to work.  I began to search for a healthy homemade granola bar that I could make and here's what I found!  It was really simple to make and they taste great (also low in fat)!  After they cooled I bagged them individually for easy grabbing!

INGREDIENTS

1 egg

1 egg white

1 cup light brown sugar

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cup toasted oats

2/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped (I used Craisins)

1/4 cup pecans, chopped

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread oats on a baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 18 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant.

2. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-by-11-inch pan with foil. Lightly oil or coat with nonstick spray.

3. In a large bowl, whisk egg, egg white, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract. Stir in toasted oats, dried cranberries, pecans and flour.

4. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool; cut into bars with a lightly oiled knife.
