Raisin Nut Bars - Swanson

Raisin Nut Bars





1 1/2 cups Swanson Organic Thompson Seedless Raisins

1 cup Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour

1 cup Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats

1 cup Swanson Organic Walnuts, chopped

1/2 teaspoon Swanson Himalayan Crystal Salt

1/4 cup Swanson Macadamia Nut Oil

1/4 cup NOW Foods Organic Maple Syrup

Organic apple juice, as needed

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.


Place raisins in bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes or until raisins are soft. Drain and press out excess water. Chop softened raisins and set aside.


In large bowl, combine flour, oats, walnuts, and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together oil and syrup. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients, add raisins and mix until blended (you want the dough to be moist enough to just stick together.) Add apple juice, if needed, to achieve desired consistency (our bakers used about ¼ cup).


Press batter evenly in a greased 6x9 inch glass casserole dish. Pre-cut into squares and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely before removing bars from the pan. Store bars in an airtight container.
Makes 16 bars. Serving size 1 bar.
