Equipment
- Solar Oven
Ingredients
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup raisins
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg beaten
- 3 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set solar oven out to preheat. Spray two 6 x 9-inch (toaster oven sized) baking pans with cooking spray, set aside.
- Mix together the oatmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine the honey, oil, egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the oatmeal mixture. Stir in the raisins.
- Divide the mixture in half and firmly press it into the prepared baking pans.
- Using a rack to separate the pans, bake in the Sun Oven until light brown and firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (If you don’t have a rack use a baking pan with higher sides, and cross stack the two pans.)
- Cool in pans on wire racks. Turn out onto a cutting board and cut into bars. Store bars in airtight containers.
