Fruit Oat Bars (No flour)

Just a simple recipe and easy snack. I only had about 1 1/4 cups banana, so I just used that and they turned out great. I got this recipe from a yahoo group called Cookie_Recipes.

Fruit Bars

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened (I used shortening)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

4 cups quick-cooking oats

1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup dried apricots

1. Beat the butter (or shortening) and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and 

fluffy, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the egg. Beat until blended. 

Stir in the oats, bananas, salt and cinnamon. Add the pecans, raisins, 

and apricots and mix well.

2. Spoon the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 

45 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 2-inch bars.
