George Family Breakfast Bars

My kids needed a quick, healthy breakfast for school days. Especially my teenage daughter who'd rather not eat at all! Oh, one other thing - they wanted it to taste good! So I developed this recipe for them.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 4  eggs
• 1  cup applesauce (unsweetened or cinnamon are fine)
• 1  tablespoon vanilla
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 3  cups oats
• 2 2⁄3 cups flour
• 1⁄2 cup wheat germ (you can add as much as you like)
• 1⁄4 cup powdered milk
• 1  cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Cream butter and sugars. Mix in eggs, applesauce, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. (If you have a kitchen mixer you can just throw all the ingredients in together and turn it on until it has the consistency of cookie dough.).
3. Spread batter in bar pan and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
4. If using a 9 x 11 cake pan bake 40 minutes.
5. These can also be made as cookies - bake 10 to 15 minutes.
