<\/a><\/div>\n
Anyone here whose New Year resolution was a low-fat and no-refined-sugar diet? Try these apple walnut squares. They are sweetened with dried dates and otherwise contain rolled oats, whole wheat flour and apple juice. Now that I look at the ingredients again, they are in fact vegan.<\/div>\n
I love the smell of cooked apples with cinnamon. I think this is one of the main reasons, why these cookies appealed to me when I first found the recipe. Needless to say, I also love to eat cooked apple with cinnamon. <\/div>\n
These squares are best eaten straight out of the oven. But you can also heat them up for breakfast, or, like I did yesterday, have them as afternoon snack in the car while driving. <\/div>\n

APPLE WALNUT SQUARES<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2 large apples, grated<\/div>\n
1 1\/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup whole wheat flour<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup apple juice<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup chopped walnuts<\/div>\n
2\/3 cup chopped dried dates<\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yields 9 squares<\/div>\n

—————————————————————–
Preheat oven to 180C degrees.Coat a 8×8″ baking dish with cooking spray. <\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes, so the oats and flour can absorb the apple juices. Bake for 30 minutes.
Cut into squares while still warm.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
