Delicious Breakfast Bars

The other day, Eden wanted to bake something. So we created a recipe and it actually turned out decent. I made a few adjustments last night, and they turned out even better.
They have a heavy texture. Kind of like a pumpkin cookie. I think they are perfect as a breakfast bar for your husband to grab on his way out the door. Or for a healthy snack to keep in the car on days you or he has to drive around town.
INGREDIENTS:
2 C Oats
1/3 C Whole Wheat flour
1/8 C Powder milk
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1 C raisins
1 carrot (shredded) a zucchini would probably be tasty too
1-2 T Brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want them. I tried no sugar and they are a little bland)
1 egg
2/3 C water / milk
1 C Apple sauce
(You could probably substitute 2/3 cup skim milk for the powder and water. I just didn't have any milk on hand yesterday)
Pre-heat oven to 350. Mix the dry ingredients together. Add the egg, apple sauce. Mix together and then add water/milk and stir some more. (your looking for a batter somewhere between cookie dough and pancake batter.)
Spoon mixture into greased muffin tins. You can fill it up 4/5ths of the way full, because these don't rise very much.
Bake for 20 minutes. Take 'em out. You might need to run a fork or knife around the sides incase it stuck a little.
