Trail Mix Bars





FINALLY ! I'd promised this recipe to my chat friends. Our Farm & Fleet carries several bulk varieties of Trail Mix. This bag contains dried cherries, raisins, dates, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.



I dumped a heaping cup of the trail mix into the blender with an egg and some of the 1 1/2 cups of milk. After chopping up in the blender I rinsed out the blender with the remaining milk.



I forgot to include in the picture 1/3 cup of veggie oil. ooopppss! 1 teaspoon vanilla too.



In my mixing bowl I had 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1tablespoon of baking powder stirred together. The wet mix just worked through thoroughly.


I poured the batter into a greased 9 X9 baking dish.



I baked the bread mix at 350 F for about a half hour till golden brown and knife came out clean.



You may see the close resemblance to Banana Bread. JD put butter on his piece and that is how I also tried and ate my pieces. MUTTs Inc also give it a *Two Paws UP*

I think this would also make great muffins. If you do muffins you may need to reduce the baking time. We went out for ALL You can eat Walleye Pike ... They loose money on us. Saturday is to be 46 F... 8 C here... I'll believe it when I see it. Been a painful sleepless night and day for me.

That's a great recipe, ret, if I could just afford some of the ingredients. I baked a chocolate cake tonight after supper and had some with ice cream. Yumilicious.

Windy day here but mostly sunny and 48F (9C). Tomorrow might get to 50F (10C). I took the dog for a long walk, after which I collapsed to the floor because of a low blood pressure episode. Called my Dr after I recovered. He will investigate a possible shut down of my autonomic nervous system caused my medication interaction.

mmmm looks good ! I would leave out the dates though. My friend makes them too. Sometimes with oatmeal or sometimes she makes peanut butter ones, or sometimes uses ingredients like chocolate chunks, coconut, and other things. She also makes Rainbow cookies to die for !!!!!!! LOL

I make chocolate mug cake in the microwave quite often. It is enough for a snack in the evening. I substitute the sugar for Splenda as I can't have sugar. I will post a recipe for it for anyone who is interested in making a mug cake.
