Trail Bars

Trail Bars

I have used raisins in place of dates, and used chopped walnuts and pecans instead of almonds; up to you. The perfect snack and energy booster for a day in the great outdoors, or any occasion. Warning: Addictive!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chopped almonds
  • 1 cup jumbo semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped dates
  • ½ cup chopped dried apricots
  • ½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, 3/4 cup honey, and lemon juice until well blended. Combine the flour, oats, and wheat germ; mix into the honey mixture. Spread evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9×13 inch baking pan. Set aside.

Step 3
In another bowl, beat eggs while gradually pouring in 1/4 cup honey. Stir in almonds, chocolate chips, dates, apricots, coconut, and sesame seeds until they are evenly distributed and well coated. Spread over the crust in the pan.

Step 4
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until center is set, and the top is lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
