Ingredients:
4 small apples, cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup raisins
1/3 cup strawberry jam
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup soymilk
3 ripe bananas
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flour
1/4 cup flax seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or 2 tablespoons mixed finely chopped nuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
For the filling:
Steam the apple slices until soft. Plump raisins in the apple steaming water, then drain. Remove the apple peels (if desired) and mash. Add raisins and jam to the apple mash.
For the base:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients and mix till smooth.
In a larger bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Add the moist ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just blended. If too dry, add more soy milk.
Spread half of the mixture in a 4×9 cake pan or casserole. Spread the filling in the middle, then spread the remaining mixture over the top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is brown. Cool and slice into bars.
