Ingredients

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

2 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup vegan margarine (softened)
3/4 cup vegan brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
2 tablespoon liquid sweetener

Directions:

Mix oatmeal, vegan sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, raisins, pecans and sweetener. Add softened vegan margarine and mix thoroughly to form a nice mushy mass. Place mixture in a 9" square pan and pat down firmly to flatten the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F, for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool a little. Cut into bars and let cool completely.

Note: you can make these into chocolate cinnamon bars by adding 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.
