These are easy to make and perfect for afternoon snacks or mornings on-the-go.

Makes about 12 squares

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups roughly chopped dried apricots
  • 1 T. apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup oat bran
  • ¼ cup quick oats
  • 2 T. almond meal
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cups soy yogurt, such as Wild Wood

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line an 8” x 8” square cake pan with parchment.

2. In a small saucepan, place the apricots with just enough water to cover. Add the vinegar. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer, adding more water as the liquid is absorbed until the apricots are tender and moist, about 10 minutes. (You do not need to drain the apricots; most of the liquid will be absorbed.)

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the oat bran, oat flour, quick oats, almond meal and salt. Set aside.

4. Over medium-low heat, add the brown sugar and soy yogurt to the apricots, mixing well to coat. Stirring constantly, add in the dry ingredients, mixing until forming a sticky dough. Press mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
