River Bars

This is a version of our power bar recipe that lacks gluten, dairy, soy, and tree nuts. It is useful to bring as a snack to a potluck.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add to a large bowl (or mixer):

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (not packed)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Mix well, then add:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour mix
• 1 cup garbanzo bean flour
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup coconut shavings
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt

When adding the dry ingredients, make sure then xanthan gum does not get wet until you really start mixing.

Mix well.

Bake as a bar cookie on a cookie sheet or in a jelly roll pan (a cookie sheet with walls) that has been sprayed with oil or has a silicon baking mat. The dough will not completely cover a 9" by 13" pan.

Baking is done when it becomes firm and browns underneath (about 20 minutes). Cut into the desired number of servings.
