There's been so much going on that I haven't cooked much lately. A couple of weeks ago, I suddenly realized that one of my recent endeavors - being a founder and coach of Girls on the Run of Las Vegas - provided me with the perfect opportunity to do some baking. After each running lesson with our 3rd through 5th grade girls, we feed them a healthy snack. Rather than buying something, I decided to bake the girls' post-lesson treats.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups butter, softened
- 3/4 brown sugar (I used Just Like Sugar, which is a non-caloric natural sugar substitute.)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spritz a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick buttery spray.
- Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars together.
- Add the egg and vanilla, blending thoroughly.
- Add wet mixture to flour mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Mix in nuts.
- Spoon mixture into baking pan.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes.
- Let cool and slice into bars.
