Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars

Want something quick and easy?  Want a snack that's not high in sodium or has a bunch of unrecognizable ingredients?  

Here's a 5-ingredient, satisfying oatmeal bar!


Ingredients:
  • 4 large, raw egg whites
  • 2 individual packets of Splenda (I used the packets with 1 gram of fiber)
  • 3/4 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup chopped apple (but you can really use any fruit you like; if using another fruit, do not add cinnamon unless preferred)
  • 3 pinchs of cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Coat a shallow baking dish with cooking spray, and pour the mixture into a 9x9 dish. 
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. After cooling, increase oven temperature to 425. 
Slice into bars, and remove from baking dish. Recoat dish with cooking spray. 
Place bars back in dish in the oven for 5 minutes until golden brown. 








Makes 6 bars (depending on how you cut them)
