Heart Healthy Fruit Bar Cookies

These bars are a sweet treat for breakfast, snack or dessert.  No added fat, no dairy, no eggs.
8x11 pyrex baking pan
350 degree oven for 25 minutes.

1 cup scottish or rolled oats
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. coriander
Mix these dry ingredients together and set aside.  In a different bowl combine:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup apple sauce (individual serving size cup works well)
In a different small bowl:
1 Tablespoon egg replacer powder, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 tsp. golden flaxseed meal
Whip together egg replacer mixture and pour over wet ingredients.
Add 1/2 cup dehydrated strawberries
and 1/2 cup dried blueberries.
Gently stir all ingredients together and spread in pan coated lightly with spray oil.
Crush 1/2 ounce graham cracker into crumbs and add a little cinnamon sugar.
Use this as a crunchy topping and spread over before placing into oven to bake.

Elegant coffee break: one bar cookie, a few fresh raspberries, a cup of coffee and a daughter fresh home from college for a chat.
