Servings: persons

1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup shredded zucchini
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
1 cup applesauce
2 cups vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon maple extract
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 cups sugar (mix into wet ingredients so it dissolves well)
4 cups quick oatmeal
3 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 tablespoons cinnamon
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 cup golden raisin
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup pecans

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2
Grease with cooking spray 2 9x13 pans.
3
Combine dry ingredients into large bowl.
4
Combine wet ingredients into a large bowl (I use my biggest Tupperware mixing bowl).
5
Use heavy duty mixer or mix by hand, mixture will be very thick.
6
Combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients, a little at a time, mixture will be very thick when all is combined.
7
Stir in all the fruit and nuts with wooden spoon.
8
Pour into greased pans and smooth tops.
9
I put both pans on same rack.
10
If you have a small oven, place 1 pan on each rack, then switch pans half way through baking.
11
Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour.
12
Check after 50 minutes with toothpick.
13
If clean, bars are done, if not try 5 to 10 more minutes.
14
Cooling bars completely will make cutting them into bars easier.
15
After the bars are cool, I cut and then put each into a freezer bag and freeze.
16
Then every morning I take one out and let sit while my tea steeps--usually it's thawed out by the time I'm ready to drink my tea.
17
I like mine cold or room temp, however DH likes them heated in the microwave!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
