Granola Bars
1/2 cup dates, chopped
2 tbsp dried cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup apricots, chopped
2 tbsp golden raisins
2 egg whites
3 tbsp honey
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 325F. In a large bowl, mix together oats and dried fruit. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg whites, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk until very frothy. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Press into a parchment-lined 8"x 8" cake pan. Bake until the granola is firm and starting to turn golden (about 20 minutes). Remove from oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a cutting board and cut into desired bar sizes/shapes. Finish cooling on a rack. Yield: 12-16 bars
