Yogurt Granola Bars

Yogurt Granola Bars

These bars are made with whole wheat flour and applesauce instead of a portion of the butter. I made these for my son and may have eaten a few myself! They're delicious! You can also leave off the yogurt for classic granola bars or change up the ingredients to keep it fresh!

I apologize in advance for my poor photography on this tutorial. I was too excited for the end result and kept forgetting!

Ingredients:

2 cups granola

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tbsp butter, softened

4 tbsp applesauce

1 cup yogurt

1 egg slightly beaten

2 tbsp whole wheat flour

1/2 cup blueberries

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Combine granola, 3/4 cup flour, sugar, cinnamon and cranberries in a small bowl.

3. Cut in butter, then add aplesauce until coarse crumbs form.

4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 8-inch square pan.

5. Mix yogurt, egg and 2 tbsp flour in another small bowl.

6. Pour yogurt mixture over the granola mixture.

 

7. Sprinkle blueberries over the top.

8. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown; cut into bars when cooled.

Sorry for the ugly photography. I was so excited to give it to my son that I completely forgot! 

 I just wrapped them in saran wrap, set them on a plate and stuck them in the fridge. They aren't the most attractive thing in the world, but they are SO good and even healthy!
