PM SNACK BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place peanut butter in small microwaveable bowl; microwave on LOW (30%) 30 seconds or until peanut butter is melted. Stir in molasses; cool.
• Place egg whites and flax seeds in blender; blend until foamy. Pour into large bowl. Add peanut butter mixture; stir until smooth. Stir in cereal and almonds until cereal is evenly coated. Press cereal mixture into prepared pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Drizzle melted chocolate over bars.
• Tip: Look for ground flax seeds in large supermarkets or health food stores. You may also buy whole flax seeds and grind them in a coffee mill or blender.

FULLY-LOADED SNACK BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with foil, leaving a slight overhang at each short end, then spray the foil.
• Whisk together the milk powder, wheat germ, flour, cinnamon and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the oats, cranberries and sunflower seeds, and toss to combine, breaking up any clumps of fruit with your hands.
• Pulse the eggs, dates, apricots, maple syrup and coconut oil in a food processor until some of the fruit is finely chopped (it's OK to have some larger chunks). Add the oat mixture, toss it a bit with a fork, then process briefly to make a chunky paste. Scatter small clumps of the dough evenly across the prepared pan. Wet your hands a bit with cool water, and press the batter firmly into an even layer.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until the outer edges are brown and the top is lighter brown and still slightly soft in the center, about 17 minutes. Put the pan on a wire rack, run a knife down the long edges to push the bars away from the sides of the pan and let the bars cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhangs, and slide the bars off the foil onto a cutting board. Cut them into twelve 3-by-4-inch bars, and wrap each one in plastic wrap. The bars will stay moist, refrigerated in an airtight container, for 5 days.
