Description

These Fat Free Granola Bars offer a clever twist on traditional treats by using baby food sweet potato puree for natural sweetness and moisture. Combined with ground granola, whole wheat flour, and egg whites, they create a chewy, cake-like texture that satisfies cravings without the heavy fats. Spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, each bite delivers warm, comforting flavors reminiscent of autumn mornings. They are perfect for busy weekdays, lunchbox additions, or a quick post-workout boost. Simple to mix and bake, these bars prove that healthy eating can be delicious, convenient, and satisfying. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Grind the fat-free granola in a food processor for 2 minutes until it resembles coarse meal.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground granola, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sweet potato puree, lightly beaten egg whites, vanilla, and chopped raisins (if using).
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto non-stick cookie sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Watch carefully to avoid burning the bottoms.
  8. Allow the bars to cool slightly on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
