Cherry Chocolate Breakfast Bars

Cherry Chocolate Breakfast Bars

 ¾ cup whole wheat flour
 ¾ cup rolled oats
 ¼ cup wheat germ or bran
 ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp baking powder
 1 cup chopped dried sour cherries
 ½ cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
 ½ cup chopped, toasted pecans
 3 oz (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
 ½ cup light brown sugar
 2 eggs
 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8” pan with parchment paper, letting the sides hang over like a sling. (This will make removing the bars easier).

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients to combine. Stir in dried cherries, chocolate and nuts.

3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients to combine. Pour them into dried ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.

4

Spread evenly in the pan, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The bars should feel set and firm in the center, with browned edges.

5

Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cut while still warm. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to a week or so, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to a couple months.
