Ingredients

    4 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup dried cranberries
    1 cup chopped dates
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup flax seeds*
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 cup honey
    1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
    1/4 cup egg whites

    *I used ground flax seeds, and that's what calculated here. I also used sea salt, but I don't know how much of a difference that makes.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, stir ingredients together until completely moist and coated. Firmly press mixture into prepared pan using spatula. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until light golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting, and cut into 36 bars. Wrap individual bars tightly in plastic wrap. Store in airtight container.

--Next time I might try adding some fibersure for another extra kick of fiber, but it would probably need more liquid I would think. Worth experimenting though!
