Make Yer Own Granola Bars

I just had to post again this evening, after a very successful attempt at homemade protein/granola bars. I never like having a big breakfast, so these are a great and healthy way to get a good start to my day.

This is a recipe I adapted from a post on www.veggieboards.com

3 Cups rolled oats
1/2 Cup protein powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 Cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs equivalent of Ener-G Egg Replacer
1/2 Cup soymilk
1/2 Cup raisins
2/3 Cup variety of nuts (I used hempseeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds)
Some agave nectar for sweetness

Mix together the dry ingredients (except raisins/nuts). Combine the wet in a different bowl, then add to dry. Mix it all up with the raisins/nuts, and press into an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, then let cool and cut into bars.
